The Goldfinch had a nice surprise today.
Yes, the pinecones are still around, and the birds seem to enjoy picking the seeds out of them.
"Ye gads!" said their many children. "Don't embarrass us!"
(A little nostalgia, at this link you can listen to
the late great Ella Fitzgerald singing that famous song)
In the meantime, Sophie Squirrel is enjoying the snow, just as long as she can keep her acorn, which she seems very possessive about. That’s okay, sharing is a learning process for her, but she is getting there.
The Dark-eyed Junco is enjoying his peanuts…
and the Mourning Doves say, "Is it going to snow again?"
And that's how it goes at this week's Saturday Morning at the Bird Feeder.
If you are in the chilly climes, stay warm and if you are in the hottest climes, stay cool, and to all, wishing you Peace.
Thanks for flying in and have a great weekend.

I'm glad you stopped to Amalia, thank you and Happy Holidays! :)
DeleteI remember that song, and haven't heard it in ages. This post is super!! How fun it would be to watch the birds pick the seeds out of the pinecones. Nature's birdfeeders. I love the snowman's visit to the feeder! But it may be short, as I know you will find him soon! I do not remember your acorn holding squirrel! He is really cute!
ReplyDeleteHi Ginny, it's a classic. Glad you enjoyed this Saturday's bird feeder post. You are correct about the snowman :) The acorn holder is one of my favorites outside.
DeleteDear Denise, how wonderful your story is with photos and a beautiful song to go with it!
ReplyDeleteYou have snow where you are; let's see if we get at least a few snowflakes next week!
Have a cozy weekend, hugs, Elke
Dear Elke, thank you very much. Yes, we had snow but it has melted now. You have a cozy weekend also :) Hugs, Denise xo
DeleteAwesome post!

ReplyDeleteBardzo się cieszę, że Ci się podobało i dziękuję za podzielenie się tym. Tobie również życzę Wesołych Świąt! :)
DeleteYes a new day and a new adventure coming! Loved the post.
ReplyDeleteThat's great Val and thank you :)
DeleteI always enjoy stopping by to see what's going on at the birdfeeder. I can't blame that squirrel for being possessive of his acorn. Some treasures are too good to share.
ReplyDeleteSo happy you do Ann, thank you. Sophie Squirrel loves her acorn, that's for sure :)
DeleteI am not yet sure of the weather out there today, but I imagine it is staying warm that will be a challenge.
ReplyDeleteHere it is still pretty chilly, 7 degrees C. It was 10 degrees warmer yesterday, a veritable heatwave :)
DeleteSounds like a lovely Saturday!
ReplyDeleteIt was, thank you Christine :)
DeleteThe chatter at the bird feeder is always jolly. A jolly holly Christmas to you!
ReplyDeleteAnd to you also Ellen, glad you found the chatter jolly :)
DeleteHope dat birdie finds his glasses. Cute. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda, dat birdie is like the lady inside the house, always misplacing those glasses :)
DeleteHow cute! So cold and you still came out for food?
ReplyDeleteSome braved the cold weather, others stayed tucked away somewhere warm I hope :)
DeleteIts good to know the bird feeder gang is having Happy Holidays together. Santa is coming guys, hang in there. maybe you should tell the camera lady to dress those bunnies, cause Baby its cold out there. I can tell
ReplyDeleteThat lady is going to follow your advice Sandra :) My backyard friends, and I, wish you a very happy holiday season.
DeleteAlways a wonderful time at the bird feeder.
ReplyDeleteThey do their best Sandra :)
DeleteI've never noticed the birds eating pinecone seeds! How interesting. I'll have to round some up for them. Our temperatures here in Georgia are in the upper 60's.
ReplyDeleteThat 60's sounds wonderful Leslie. It was 50 here yesterday and it felt like a heatwave. Now it's back down to 40 :) The Goldfinches are strict vegetarians and the seeds from the cones are a favorite. Pinecones become a crucial winter food when all the other flowers die out, like another favorite, the sunflower.
DeleteHello Denise,
ReplyDeleteFun post and cute captions. I love all the birds and your cute critter statues.
I have seen people rub peanut butter into the pine cones and cover them with bird seed too. The birds love it and the squirrels. I wish you a happy Christmas week ahead. Take care, have a great day and a happy weekend.
So glad Eileen. I'm going to have to get a couple of jars of peanut butter on my shopping list, I can see that. Thank you and I wish you the same :)
Deletebeautiful images and as always, so fun. we got snow too, but it has, as always melted away already!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Debbie :) I saw your snow angel pictures and absolutely loved them. You had quite a lot of snow for a while. Maybe it's just as well it's gone already.
DeleteI especially appreciate your Saturday mornings at the bird feeder since I miss my partridges and sparrows. Have a wonderful weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm real happy you told me that Rita, thank you :) I would miss your partridges and sparrows too. You have a wonderful weekend also.
DeleteI always enjoy 'flying in' to read your Saturday Bird Feeder posts.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
All the best Jan
You are so welcome to fly in any time Jan, we love having you here. Thank you and all the best to you too :) Denise xo
DeleteLindos pájaros. te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteMuchas gracias :) Me alegra mucho que te gusten los pájaros. Te mando un beso.
DeleteI like the way your birds tell us what's going on.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate that Red, thank you so much! :)
DeleteJealous of your birds :) 😀 they are finally returning here, after vamoosing in August. It gas been quite the topic of conversation here!
ReplyDeleteThank you Granny Sue, they took a while to find me. I hope yours turn up soon. Yes, they are a chatty bunch :)
DeleteCute little snuggle bunnies.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ivy, I tell them they're cute all the time :)
DeleteI almost missed your post this week! You have doves in the winter? Our left us long ago!
ReplyDeleteThanks for checking Jim. Yes, we have doves in the winter. They are year-round residents though I read some might move south from the northernmost parts of their range :)
DeleteBirds and squirrels are some of my favorite animals. I enjoyed this post. Wishing you peace too and a pleasant holiday season, Denise.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting Lara Kaye, and I am glad you enjoyed my post. Thank you also for your greeting for the holiday season. I wish you the same :)
