Mr. Cardinal enjoys his breakfast.
Mrs. Cardinal peeps out from the other feeder.
Mr. Flicker is nicely camouflaged, except for the rather large bright red spot on the back of his head...
Mr. Finch enjoys the sunshine.
Meanwhile,
Mrs. Finch is talking to Mr. Finch with her mouth full.
Shy Mr. Red Belly is very hard to photograph.
You have to be quick the way he scoots up the pole to the suet cake!
Then there are the regulars, who clean up what everyone else drops...
Whitey and Ruthie make sure nothing goes to waste!
(I just wish they would stop leaving their waste on the driveway... *sigh*)
Happy Wednesday, everybody!
Wow such wonderful photos, I take many of wildlife but these are exceptional, thank you for sharing/

Such wonderful photo's Paula. I have a Mr. Red Belly...they are not so shy after being around for a while..they get use to you ...it's great. I have a Sap sucker who bullies Mr. Red Belly ..or as I call him "Ben"..so I shew the sap sucker away when I see him!!! There are no bullies around here :)
ReplyDeleteWishing you a lovely day,
Doreen
Whitey and Ruthie are just fertilizing!!
ReplyDeleteYou have a great day.
Hi Paula, Looks like you are getting lots of beautiful visitors! I have terrible luck photographing birds. Thanks for sharing yours!
ReplyDeleteWe share the same types of birds! That woodpecker looks like somebody hit him with buckshot! What variety! Good pictures, and good to hear from you.

Great bird pics. You do get close. don't you? I don't recall the flicker but surely they must be around here. I love the Mrs. Cardinal. Her feathers are done so nicely. It's funny. The birds no longer visit our suet--too many bugs--but the hummers aren't back yet. Unusual for here. Lots of rain, lots of green and blooms everywhere. I love spring! And I love you! Say hey to James! ★ Linda
ReplyDeleteLove them...I have never seen a cardinal in real life! Sweet chicks too..fun to have around always! Come say hi :D
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday back atcha!
ReplyDeleteI know 'bout the waste product...the turkeys that keep coming around here love sitting up on my porch...so nasty!
Oh, such beautiful pictures! I love birds and we have lots of fun ones that we keep our eye on during the day. Great entertainment!
ReplyDeleteJoyce
Love the pics...I love taking pics of the birds..you got a good one of the woodpecker...have a good rest of the week..
ReplyDeleteLove your picturs! We had a pair of flickers in our yard last week and I mistook themfor grosbeak. Thanks for the picture of it.
ReplyDeleteGreat bird pics. I gotta get me a feeder this year. I had a plastic one, but the squirrels ripped it down and broke it.

Great pictures! Mrs Finch needs to learn some manners! haha! ;)
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos. Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love watching the birds and we have several of them.
ReplyDeleteWe have a Mr Flicker that beats on our vent every morning now that the weather is warm. I thought it was the woodpecker that we have around.
He beats every AM at 7, we call him our alarm clock.:)
You have had some gorgeous visitors! You got some really good pics of them!
ReplyDeletePaula, great pictures! I love looking at pictures of birds. It is about time to get my hummingbird feeder out. I love watching those little buggers. Have a great day. Winona

PS hope you have the link to Down to Earth? I'll look...I Think that was the name of the lady who does everything mostly by hand...
Love the bird photos - awesome! We have many different kinds of birds here in the woods - fun to watch them fly in and get their fill of seed and suet!
ReplyDeleteso much fun to see happy couples enjoying a healthy meal together! and about the chickens - poop is always the byproduct - no matter what they eat!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures of the birds!
ReplyDeleteWhat great pictures you took Paula! I just love to watch the birds at the feeders. Have a great weekend, blessings,Kathleen
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos and birds! I have some feeders along our back fence, but around here we mostly get sparrows and robins, and a few mourning doves. I wish we had more colorful birds, but I enjoy feeding the ones we have.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Marcia
I know it is supposed to be spring but we live at 7000 ft and we just got hit with a big snow storm a few days ago so our birds aren't really out much yet, I need to go get some seed to bring them back. I have seen a few bluejays and a robin so It is time. I am getting about 7 eggs a day from my 11 hens. The feed stor had a bunch of chicks but Im worried about putting new chickens in with an established flock, will they kill them? I don't know. It is spring though. ;o) We are getting 3 lambs for 4-H in a few weeks. Hope this will be fun..I'v never had lambs before. Happy Spring!
ReplyDeleteIsn't God's creation fascinating and beautiful?! And your chicken comment was just too funny!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet...I've been hoping all is well with the sheep.
ReplyDeleteLove, Debra
We don't have cardinals here, Mrs Cardinal looks like a muppet or something! The norther flicker is one of my favorite birds, we have one that likes to sit and drum on the metal roof. I loved all your pics!
ReplyDeleteJust checking on you!
ReplyDeletehughugs
Wow, what awesome pictures, you must have a really powerful zoom lens...
ReplyDeleteI love watching and listening to the birds... you have some beauties!
Blessings,
Mel
Hello Paula. I wanted to stop by and let you know..my blog is back :)
ReplyDeleteHugs, Doreen
Lovely photos and I love feeding the birds, so bright and cheerful. The cats love watching them from the safety of the sun room windows and the dogs play chase but have never caught one. Thankfully!
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures, you must have an awesome zoom! I don't think I've ever seen a Mr. Flicker before. He's so purdy!
ReplyDeleteA good camera got the shots!! At least you had it on and ready when the birds lighted! I've never seen a cardinal in real life. Just pictures. They are so amazing!
ReplyDeleteWe had a new episode in the hen house! A hawk came in and helped himself to a few hens and our rooster. Never before has this happened in eighteen years. There is a new hen house in the planning stage!
Free chickens are so happy!
