Howdee all,
The birds are busy with home making in Sickstas yard..
The resident Bluebirds have chosen the same nest box for the third year in a row.There is plenty of food hanging around for them…This resident Chickadee found some for himself..
Did you know Chickadees live in the moon?
Well they do…at least a pair of them do:)And the moon…Is Happier for it…A Brown-headed nuthatch checks out this old house…Wonder if he will entice a lady to this shanty?The Downy woodpeckers love Bark Butter…and leave the suet aloneMy feeders are happy with birds…
Can you see the happy face?We have had scads of Pine Siskin and American Goldfinch
A Ruby-throated hummingbird has been at my feeder, but prefers the tasty garden flowers.
The birds are returning~
I am eagerly awaiting the Blue and Rose breasted Grosbeaks, Indigo Buntings and any other bird that wants to come to Sickstas Garden…
Life is Birdie Good
Beautiful photos and birds. The color of the bluebirds is so vibrant. I can't wait to start seeing them around here.
ReplyDeleteLots of great birding going on in sicksta's yard. Love the moon but would rather move into the shanty. ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Dawn,
ReplyDeleteNice series again,
Love that Bluebird, which I still have'nt see here.
OH what a great variety! Love your birdies!!
ReplyDeleteDawn! I love your posts! They always make me happy!
ReplyDeleteCute face!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be moving on if there were nesting Bluebirds around. Spring is so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWonderful collection of yardbirds, Dawn! The bluebirds are one of my favorites.
ReplyDeletehello, have a nice day and enjoy your life
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for the birds to start nesting here. Love seeing sickstas birdies!
ReplyDeleteI love the Goldfinch photo!! Fun images Dawn! Everybody's singing up here in RI, and I saw two male Robins fighting nearly to the death yesterday. I actually broke it up! But, only the Starlings and Pigeons are nesting so far!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great variety of birds--talk about a backyard wildlife habitat. I've seen a bluebird check out our back yard but not stay I think because of the mouse that has made a nest in the bluebird box.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I haven's seen pine siskins this year. They had a problem with salmonella a couple of years ago. I had to take my feeders down for awhile so others wouldn't get infected.
Nice post, Dawn! It's spring in your yard, quite a bit ahead of ours. I love the bluebird checking out the box, and the brown-headed nuthatch...
ReplyDeleteThis splendid post had me smiling ear to ear. A most wonderful variety of birds visiting your sicksta's backyard. Happy post with great photos!
ReplyDeleteAwesome display of yardbirds Dawn! Of course, Bluebirds are my favorites but that Brown-headed Nuthatch is very cool. The smiley bird feeder setup put a smile on my face when I saw it!
ReplyDeleteYou got to love springtime!
Hi Dawn, More great pictures. Sure admire your location there and being able to watch all the birds and nature so closely. Very neat! Thanks and have a great day, John
ReplyDeleteDawn, those Bluebirds are just so blue and so fantastic. Lucky you to have them so close.
ReplyDeleteThese are all great but the ones of the bluebirds are awesome!! So glad that I found your blog!
