A Few Pictures I Took this Week - Birds of all Kinds

Thanks Anna. I think you are right about the first one being a finch but I wasn't sure. The cardinal was posing I think because I was able to get several photos. And the doves are soo shy but they also wanted to eat so that meant I was able to get clear shots of them together, Yay.

Stocky and his family eat here pretty much all day - lols. My gardener young man was home from college this weekend to visit his family and stopped by with this beautiful bouquet. His mama taught him right!

Anna - I really appreciate you looking at my birds and such..

I sent a red one your way (really I did 58) so you have to go look for it. It should be in the trees by the lake. Yeah that's where it is...lols

Thanks 58. You're funny.

You will have to give it boots 58 because we don't have that much snow in Kansas so they don't have their own boots. You probably have a pair that will fit it or maybe Anna has some bird boots. I think it will be there all Summer, maybe. Anna might know....

Ohhhh - isn't that sweet. They don't have to get their little feets wet after all. Thanks Mrs D.

Thanks Mrs D - you are always so sweet. I don't know if I deserved the flowers but I was sure thankful he brought them to me. He's studying horticulture so he is a flowery kind of kid.

Stocky is always here and the doves are too but they usually fly away so quickly I can't get their picture. But tonight everyone was eating and I was able to get their photos.

ambivalent - I appreciate your comments and thank you for 'naming that bird'. lols Sometimes the cardinal thinks he can't be seen and I am able to get his photo - Mrs Cardinal though is more elusive.

ambivalent - I love cats but not when they want to eat my birds. I can always tell when a cat is around here because the birds start to chatter a lot. So I go outside and the cat usually goes away and we're good for another few hours. lols

Lebowsky ♫ thanks for the note trick. The young man who brought the flowers is indeed a wonderful friend who has worked for us for the past several years while he was in HS. Then he went off to college and I thought the days of him helping me out would be over and he would go onto bigger and better things.

But he told me tonight he will work one more summer in the neighborhood. Yay Plus he said to start my list of to-dos. The flowers were a wonderful surprise. It does say a lot about his character and his background.

I appreciate your stopping by.....♪

Hi tz - still having trouble with the PC huh. lols The odd part is I can read it just fine..I appreciate you stopping by.

Chelli - long time since we've run across each other. So glad to see you. I believe the dove's colors change depending on the season or the mating or something like that.

I didn't realize they had that much color either until I began photographing them.

I feel so thankful I got some beautiful Spring flowers just wanted I needed.

((((((((Chelli))))))))))

JungleJ - poor doves - yeah they are freezing. lols That one looks like someone tried to strangle it with the purple around the neck too. I wonder if it had a bird band on sometime. I appreciate you stopping by.

Hi Jackie - I would love to give little Rosie a treat but she lives way up north and I live in Kansas. That is probably why you and I seem to have the same birds - we are in similar environments - just a few hundred miles difference.

It is early this year for them to be building nests and chasing each other. I do think the birds know things we do not. Thanks Jackie.

Thanks Vlad. I looked him up but couldn't figure out what he was so I'm glad you stopped by to let me know. He does have the sparrow markings but there are so many sparrows to choose from. Spring! Yay.

Mooncrow - so nice of you to stop by and check out my photos. There are many birds here now and some like the sparrow Vlad described above that I haven't seen before. I so appreciate the flowers. Thank you.

Thanks Holly - the birds are hanging around more - making nests and a bustle of activity such as I have never seen. They seem to be in a hurry. I don't think it would have anything to do with me cutting down the trees with their nests in it. Not!

I hope they (birds) are not too angry with me. And Stocky well - he's Stocky. lols

Thanks Dare. I love taking pictures of the birds (as you can tell I guess). The cardinals are always a bright spot in any day. I appreciate you stopping by.

I agree Dare - those little critters are all over the place - darting in and out - moving every part of their body. Even when they are eating they are banging their little heads on a branch trying to break a seed. lols Very difficult but still fun to try.

Thanks et! I did have a whole lot of birds this past week and all different kinds. Luckily they were all hungry so I was able to take their photos except for a few elusive ones - but I'll find them. Maybe. lols

My windows aren't that clean et. Really! You gotta be sneaky and not let them know you are there - ya gotta hide behind some furniture in the shadows. Those birds are smart and if they know we want their picture they will fly away.

I like your pictures just like they are anyway et. The stink bug one was great!!

((((((((((et))))))))))))

Thanks Dare. lols back

Well et - I've seen a lot of birds but not many stinkbugs so your pictures are unique - you don't need bird ones.

lols Dare - I think the stinkbug is a great picture. I don't see them around here.

I hope your bird pictures show up for you et. The birds are really active so it's easier now then it was in the winter. I'll be checking Friday to see......

Thanks so much Kara for stopping by to see them. I'll be posting more birds tomorrow - been out taking pictures this afternoon. Lots of birds. Thanks again.

Thanks. :-)
