IT'S FEBRUARY AND THEY THINK IT'S SPRING ALREADY

With the unseasonably warm weather this February, the song birds are thinking that spring is already sprung. But we know that March is often a bitterly cold month. In any case, the birds have been visiting in abnormally large numbers on our deck feeders and bird bath. The cutest little fella was a young Downy woodpecker and his parents. Of course, the cardinals and bluebirds and the usual suspects all dropped by over the past couple of weeks. It looks like the bluebirds hatched two this past spring.

I love this view from here

I wish this tree had bigger branches

What are you? said the titmouse to the young downy
  

I am a very loud singer

The sun must feel really good

I'm shy

Cleaned out the bluebird nest from last year

Two eggs hatched and we saw both of them last Fall after they were flying

Wearing my head bonnet today

I am so ready for Spring

See I have some red feathers too

She's a beauty

 

I'm a pretty girl

It took me all night to fix my top feathers
