SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER AND BIRD BATH - ????? THE GOLDFINCH HAS NOT BEEN BACK ONLY THIS INTERESTING 'BIRD'

Hmmmm.......


Just a short video this week of our only visitor. It's even slower at the bird bath. We have had very muggy weather again with lots of rain and thunderstorms most evenings. I haven't seen any birds around, not even in the trees. Maybe we have hawks in the area? Who knows!

So, no bird or animal chatter for you. Hopefully there will be something going on for the next one.

That's how it is going at this week's Saturday Morning at the Bird Feeder, zip, zero!

I hope you all have a great weekend.

  3. That squirrel is cute—it was so alert—and yes, something is keeping the birds further away... but they’ll be back!
    Take care of yourself in this stormy weather.
    Have a lovely weekend! hugs Elke

    1. Thank you Elke :) and I appreciate your encouragement and concern. I saw a few flashes of lightning in the distance but not the rain we were experiencing. You have a lovely weekend also, hugs, Denise

  5. Have a great weekend, Denise. It was rather warm today. I just saw a lot of bulbuls and finches in the tree. I'll be looking for squirrels when we get back to Illinois in a few weeks.

  8. I am sure the squirrel appreciated a cool drink of water, with no pesky birds to contend with.

  9. Well the squirrel is cute but he’s no bird. He probably enjoys having the birdbath all to himself

    1. I'm sure he is and yes, he's no bird but truth be told, he's welcome for a drink of water on such a hot day :)

    1. That’s interesting John. I am wondering if the water and the stand itself is too hot and that I need to move it into a shady spot.

  17. Cute squirrel video Denise! The birds seem to find plenty of natural foods at this time.
    Take care, have a great day and a happy weekend!

    1. Thank you Eileen. I am only putting water out right now. It will be in the colder months that I will start feeding them again, when their natural food sources disappear. I will probably see more activity at the birdbath when that happens :)
