But first, a bit of winter color:
Two of my three amaryllis have bloomed so far. Now they are sending up second stalks too!
I recently put the chickadee feeder back out. They eat out of other feeders, but they really love this one. I fill it with black oil sunflower seed, their favorite.
House Finches are a "common" yardbird, but I never tire of the males and their pretty colors.
It's been a bit wet around here and this Northern Flicker is drenched!
This is how he looks at me when the suet feeder is empty. oops.
Above: a wet Downy Woodpecker. Below: a wet Mourning Dove.
Even the Anna's Hummingbird looks like she is tired of the rain.
A bit of rain doesn't slow this guy down though.
Ha!! I love the sad and wet flicker!
ReplyDeleteWOW! An exceptional series!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Great photos of a hungry chickadee! Will you be organizing a February bird count this year? If all goes well, we will have a yard of own by then...
ReplyDeleteMax: no plans to host a bird count....why don't you host one? I'll participate....
ReplyDeleteI laughted out loud at the sodden, angry, hungry and very grumpy flicker! Those guys have personality to burn. Squirrel looks like s/he might be getting ahold of some of the chickadees' sunflower seets, that's quite a roll of belly chub! Daughter's class is studying birds at the moment and I plan to share your site with the other families as a great resource. Cheers!
