Howdee all,
We left Connecticut on New Years Day… Waldo ready to leave..We follow him out to the carAny guesses where?
Waldo does some of the driving..
We overnighted in Annapolis and left the next morning for the last leg of the trip to North Carolina
Craigy made a new gate..He always makes something for Sicksta with hearts for Christmas..this was her surprise this year…Sorry Sicksta..the new kitchen might be next year..hee hee
I unpacked all the millions of pounds of clothing and belongings I took…way to much..I have forgotten how to pack..and I bring everything..
Anyway…
Back to my first bird of the year..We were traveling on the first..and so..I really only had quick glances of birds..I wont count them..
This is the bird I will count..When I woke up the morning of the 2nd..this fella was tapping on our bedroom window…
I think he wanted more Bark Butter..and was glad we had returned…
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker
I swear I think I have been over that bridge last summer but I can't bring the name to mind. I love the heart gate and I would also love to know the name of that woodpecker. Great pictures all of them. Happy traveling.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of woodpecker is that?
ReplyDeleteLove love the heart gate Craigy made for Sicksta Del! The yellow-bellied sapsucker is real cute. (If that is what it is)
ReplyDeleteI have been waiting to see what Craigy made Della do.. It's beautiful! And so is the first bird of the year!!!! Miss you guys!!

ReplyDeleteYour sure do get a lot of birds pecking at your window. Nice shot of the sapsucker. And, I like your sisters' new gate.

I am going to have to start a window tapping bird list! :)
Happy New Year dear Blogger friends and family~Thanks for stopping by!
You have lots of birds tapping on your window rather than flying into it. What makes your window so attractive - what's the secret?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Sapsucker. Do you make the bark butter? I need the recipe for Oct when I have a couple that hang around for a few weeks! Happy New Year if I didn't already say it. Glad you got safely back to homey.
ReplyDeleteHey Dawn... LOVE Waldo... what fun to have him along with you! Now I know where in the world Waldo is... LOL LOL Hopefully our paths will cross and maybe more then once. Let me know where and when you arrive into Florida. We live in Pinellas County which is near St. Pete/Tampa area...Bird pic was awesome!
ReplyDeleteHave fun & Travel safe

ReplyDeleteHowdee Hilke...it is a blessing and a curse..we have reflective windows..so the bird sees itself...then reacts to that. Sometimes we have had birds hit the windows and die.
I have tried many things..its best when we are parked close to trees and shrubs..more birds come to visit and no deaths.

The bark butter is wonderful..I use the Zick butter..new improved recipe..or her old one for winter feeding. http://juliezickefoose.blogspot.com/2010/03/zick-dough-improved.html
Lots of birds like the butter...I have a long list of birds ..but some are woodpeckers..all kind, ruby-crowned kinglet, all nuthatch,titmice, I spread the butter on the bark of the tree.
