We have some of the same ones here as well. It seems more of them are not going south like they used to, like the cardinal and some robins.

I have photos of some that I took in WV last spring. And I'm glad that you figured out that the furry guy was not a birdie. He is cute though.

It has been a bit too cold and stormy for a lot of the birds to come to my feeders during the past couple of days. Expect to see some cardinals and blue jays today now the weather has settled down somewhat.<br />PatriciaPiece by Piecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11947220369390395236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-1993731718925501812015-01-10T13:21:30.589-05:002015-01-10T13:21:30.589-05:00You captured some great shots!

So our birds have not really discovered our feeder yet. We have had a few juncos and chickadees as well as some tufted tit mouse. No cardinals...<br />Hugs,<br />PennyPenny from Enjoying The Simple Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01480355122441712250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-40024048277648883602015-01-10T12:55:37.607-05:002015-01-10T12:55:37.607-05:00Hi Mary.

There are some real beauties but my favorite are the little chubby sparrows. Gosh, they're cute. Just as cute as the chickadee when they are all puffed up. I'm glad you don't mind the squirrels. I realize they are a bloody nuisance but they, too, are starving in the winter and need food. They just don't seem to have good manners. I have a sweet little red squirrel that lives in a tree right behind our feeders on our lot. He's pretty cute but naughty. If you drop on over you will see some that I fed yesterday. Have a wonderful weekend, Mary.

That same heart that is often chasing them out of my birdfeeders :). Ha! You are so right they all need to be taken care of at this time of year especially.<br />I must say I am very impressed that you are even melting the ice off the bird bath. I am now considering doing the same thing, particularly if it might bring a bluebird calling. It is evident that the birds are most thankful judging by the lovely assortment to be seen outside your window.<br />A wonderful post, Mary. We've been keeping our feeders filled, but I haven't been taking the time to notice who is visiting. You have inspired me to open the blinds and pay closer attention.Happy@Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748146424809856063noreply@blogger.com
