A WEEK OF QUOTES - PART 6 - THE MOST IMPORTANT TRIP...

A BLACK-CAPPED CHICKADEE AT A BIRDFEEDER IN WYOMING

My theme this week seems to be of birds.  This one is from my archives.  I like to re-share my favorites occasionally.  We were in Cody, Wyoming.  I was sitting in a garden and watched the birds as they came to the feeder.  The feeder alone was worthy of a shot.

It snowed most of the day yesterday, a more wet, heavy snow according to Gregg as he shoveled the driveway.  Our neighbor across the street has one of those powered snow removers, but said it was too much of a wet snow and it wouldn't work properly.  Never having had one I wouldn't know.   This latest snowfall left three or four inches on the ground, so not so bad compared to other areas.  The good news is that it is going to get up to 50 degrees F. today.  That should get rid of quite a lot.

We will be seeing our son tonight.  He has been out of town on business for a couple of days and we are picking him up at the airport.  Our sweet daughter-in-law dropped him off.  We volunteered to pick him up as she will be working, and we never miss a chance to enjoy his company.  

I am heading to the coffee pot for my first cup of the day.  I wish you all a good one, and thanks so much for stopping by.

MORE DECK CAM PHOTOS

I still haven't gotten over the novelty of having a deck cam, so I hope you won't get bored with another set here.  I will give them a break after this. The photos with the information on the bottom are straight from the camera, the ones without info I have cropped to get a closer view of what critter set off the sensor.  Here we go...

I had a night visitor!  

A little too close buddy!

The Blue Jays are other frequent visitors.

If you look closely in the photo below, you can see someone coming into frame in the lower right hand corner.

And there he is....

and there he goes.

And he's back...

for a little while at least...

but then it is the male Cardinal's turn....

and the Black-capped Chickadee.

And the saga continues, who will get the most sunflower seeds on this deck rail.

I think it's a toss up between the squirrel and the racoon.  What say you?  They also want to know where the peanuts are.
