SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - SPLISH-SPLASH…

 They are taking a bath! The house finches are having way too much fun to do any chatting, and they are very feisty  The video is noisy fair warning. There was some kind of saw being used. You can tap the sound icon bottom left of the video if it bothers you.

In the meantime, and an hour after the finches left…

“Wendy, are you there?”    

“I have been hiding, are they all gone yet?”

Wendy the Water Nymph took a while to come out of the fountain, and the sun stayed under a cloud to give her a little more time. Her friend the squirrel stayed long enough for her to feel safe. 

She of the House said she is very happy the birds are finally using the bird bath, at least that’s what squirrel told the water nymph.  Wendy the Water Nymph wasn’t so sure. 

She didn’t know what to think after all the chaos she saw, along with the racket. Squirrel told her there were a lot of tree branches being sawn off after the thunderstorms and windy weather from a couple of weeks ago. She stayed inside the fountain until it was all quiet. It took a while! 

That’s how it goes at this week’s 

Saturday Morning at the Bird Feeder/Water Bath(?)

We all hope you are well and thank you for visiting. 

Take good care of yourselves and see you next time.

SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER OR IT PROBABLY SHOULD READ, AT THE BIRD BATH

 

"Why am I called a Goldfinch?" - "Because 'extremely handsome yellow bird' was already taken."

"Why are you looking at me like that? It's true!"

And that's how it goes on a

Saturday Morning at the Bird Feeder/Bird Bath.

Thanks for visiting and as you fly through the day, 

may it be a safe and happy flight.

SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - 8-1-26

 The birds and I want to wish you Happy 1st Day of the Month and a Happy August!

Nice to meet you Bubbles.

Thank you, I hope you will like it.

Yes, you're very handsome Bubbles.

Yes we do but they are rare these days. I will move the birdbath under the cover of some branches. You will all feel more comfortable as it's a short flight up to the lowest branches.

That's great, tell everyone there will be fresh water every day and free photos taken.

It almost looks like there is a water sprite in the shape of the fountain. Look! He’s waving at him. Yes, imagination is a fine thing. 

The squirrel likes it too. She visits every day.

I bought animals shapes out of copper because someone told me that copper keeps the algie down. I bought extra leaf shapes for the other ground bird bath that I am putting down several feet away. 

That's how it goes at this week's Saturday Morning at the Bird Feeder. 

Thanks for flying in and 

I hope your weekend is a great one.

“Nice reflection, I’m looking very handsome, aren’t I?”

Photo 4:

“Very nice location but you need more cover. You have hawks in this area don’t you?”

Photo 5:

“I will chat to the flock and let you know. I am sure they will like it.”

“See you later!”

HE FOUND IT!

 

Not so many birds have been around yet for this new bird bath. There is one male Goldfinch who pops up every now and again. This little guy arrived before a thunderstorm last night and it rained buckets. I said I think he needs a tiny stepladder and asked Gregg if he could make one to help. I got an affirmative “no!” Oh well! Yes I was joking I told him but I don’t think he quite believed me. I am looking around for a ground bird bath. The other one cracked. Gregg knows I can squirrel speak. He told me to tell squirrel to go to the creek which is on the other side of the trees. Harsh! Grin….

Enjoy your day friends and 

thanks for stopping by.

SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - A BIRTHDAY PRESENT?

 

As you can see, the birthday gift I said I would share is a new bird bath on a stand. It is solar powered and has a camera attached. I am a happy camper. My family couldn't have bought a more perfect gift. 

It has been a bit quiet but they have to get used to the little fountain that shoots up in the middle and it's a bit noisy and gurgly. When it's in full sun, the fountain can be several inches high. 

So far it hasn't attracted any squirrels or other night critters. It gives me a live feed also and if I hear a noise, I can check my phone to see if any curious animals have made their way up on the deck. I am happily waiting in anticipation.

And by the way Mr. Goldfinch, as for the scary place in my head, have you seen inside yours birdie? It's all relative!

That's how it goes on a 

Saturday Morning at the Bird Feeder.

We're all doing fine here, I hope you 

are too.

I also hope your weekend will be a great one,

and thanks for flying in.

"This is camera lady's birthday present from her family. 

She is real happy to be able to see her birds up close again.

She is doing cartwheels in her head. I am very happy I am not

in her head. It's a scary place. Please don't tell her I said that!"
