Claudia, you are so lucky to have such a variety of birds in your yard. Sigh. But thanks for sharing!! :D So many of what you see are my favorites. Send them my way, will you? :D

Thanks Jo!!

If someone had told me 2 years ago that I would be spending my days watching and photographing birds, I would have told them they were nuts!! :lol:

I mean I had a bird feeder and liked to see the cardinals out there and we would get some Gold Finch in the summer but that was the extent of it. But when we moved here this door opened up and there is just no shutting it again. I am so blown away by nature. It is truely amazing to watch these creatures and what it takes for them to survive.
