It is time for Wild Bird Wednesday again, and this week I actually took some bird shots.

Blue Jay Invasion

This is the first year we have been inundated by Blue Jays. Good Golly Miss Molly.....do these guys make bombing raids of my yard! They eat any bird seed I put out, and they appear to have scared off my lovely Gold Finches. Any ideas? They are beautiful, but they can certainly be one big pain in the neck. Here’s hoping they get tired of this spot and fly away to another. I remember one dive bombing my mother when I was a little girl in Florida, ad it was awful. Trust me,I am staying a safe distance.

Our Hummers Have Returned

It was an exciting day yesterday when I got these photos. I haven’t been at home much in the last six weeks because one of my children has not been well and I have been helping out around their house...one of those things grandmothers do so well. Every year I fret and stew that the hummingbirds will bypass us and not return, but my faith is still there. I was sitting out on our front porch looking this way and that when the missing hummers decided to come in for din-din. Somehow, I managed to get the lens on the correct setting and captured these pictures. Hope you enjoy them. It tickles me to death to get captures like these, and it makes me happy to get up a post these days. Just, please bear with me on the commenting on all of your wonderful pictures. Soon, I hope things will get back to normal, I will be at home more, and I will have time to spend on the computer. Happy Birding.

I just had to try a bit of texture.

Naughty Woody

What a colorful surprise. Woody is finally back, but we have a problem. Din-Din just happens to be the post holding up the walkway from our washroom door to the side yard. Not Good! If you look, you can see the screen wire popping through because these were taken through the kitchen window.

GEEZE.....It’s snowing again. We had just melted, and now the white stuff is back.

Temperature ~ 17 degrees at 5:00 and going down to 5 degrees tonight. UGH!

We’re Hungry!

Please help identity. I have never seen these big boys here before.

Buddy thinks they are pigeons.
Update...my blogging friends say these are probably Mourning Doves.

Here is another chubby little lovely that showed up today for some din-din.
Update....Song Sparrow

And here is a series of resident Nuthatch shot one right after the other.

Thank you blogging friends for helping me identify my birds.

One Happy Bird ~ One Miffed Dog

A New Take on Goldilocks and the Three Bowls of Porridge

Feeder #1 ~ Let me try this ear of corn...it looks interesting and yummy.

Feeder #2 ~ I don’t know...this might be easier to get the corn into my beak...

Feeder #3 ~ OK..This is it. The third try is the winner. 

I will definitely take one of these, and I’ll be back for more.

It tastes so good.

I want something to munch on, too, Mom.

Dog-gone-it. You've let me down, again, and I am not happy :-(
Shame on you.
