SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER…WHO IS THAT BEHIND ME.

 

The birds thought all they had to do was sing for their supper. They did not realize they would have to pick up a broom and clean up too.

And that's how it goes on a Saturday Morning at the Bird Feeder.

Have a great weekend everyone

and thanks for flying in.

"What is going on and who is that behind me?"

"That is Buddy Blue Jay. Someone is bored, they are adding stuff."

"She must be happy there is no snow on the deck."

"She is not happy at all the dirt it left behind."

"Oh boy!"

"Shhhh....don't tell her snow is forecast for Monday."

SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - A POETIC WEEKEND FOR OUR FEATHERED FRIENDS

The wren truly sings beautifully!

The Downy Woodpecker had another task to do, which is how it goes on another Saturday Morning at the Birdfeeder. 

May your days be full of warmth, sunshine and sweet bird song.

SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - NO SEED?

And that's how it goes on a Saturday Morning at the Bird Feeder.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Thanks for stopping by!

For our international blogging friends, here is the above dialog. I may not always remember but I did today.

Picture 1: Male Downy Woodpecker, "I am back again but where is the birdseed?

Picture 2: Blue Jay, "Camera Lady says there is plenty of natural food now, and she will feed you in the colder months when food is scarce. She has also seen you hopping up and down the tree eating all those bugs. You are not lacking in protein she says."

Picture 3: Downy woodpecker, "I would like to see her hopping up and down a tree trying to catch them. Those things are fast!:

Out of frame someone says: "If only she had that energy."

Picture 4: "Male House finch says, "I would like to see that."

Picture 5: Male Cardinal says, "So would her husband. A little bird told me."

SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - LOUD?

 

Blue Jay had his say!

But so are you my dear Blue Jay. The experts say your calls can be very loud, and can sound like a scream, especially your alarm calls which alert everyone. So good for you Mr. Blue Jay! 

Another hero! Well done my fine feathered friend!

He would have had his answer, but Camera Lady tripped over the Froggy Zen Master. After many utterances which raised Zen Master's eyes to the ceiling, he thought it prudent to leave and let her practice more Zen on her own.

But first he left her with this, "A Zen state, also known as mindfulness, is a state of calm attentiveness where one is fully present in the moment, free from excessive thought or attachment to external stimuli. It's about being aware of your surroundings and inner experience simultaneously, allowing you to respond consciously and effectively. This state can be cultivated through practices like meditation and mindful living." And he then said, "You have a long way to go. More practice!"

And that is how it goes on a Saturday Morning at the Bird Feeder. 

SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

 

And that's how it goes on a Saturday Morning at the Bird Feeder.

Thanks for flying in. I hope 

your day is a great one

and...

SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - ARE YOUR FEATHERS STAYING DRY?

 

"I have never seen a banana couch before" they said. "She has some very interesting furniture!" ("She has a lot of interesting things in her imagination," she said.)

Camera lady is cleaning the closets and drawers out this week. She came across Thinhorn while looking for things to discard. She found him on vacation years ago and couldn't part with him. He was a reminder of a lovely time, so now he's part of our Saturday Morning family. He will be popping up every now and again.

Thinhorn was delighted to be so warmly welcomed. He knew he was going to be very happy here.

And that's how it goes on a Saturday Morning at the Birdfeeder.

Thanks for flying in.

I hope you're hanging in there and 

your feathers are staying dry.

Have a great weekend!

Intro

Verse 1

He rocks in the treetops all day long, hoppin' and a-boppin' and singing his song

All the little birds on Jaybird Street love to hear the robin go tweet-tweet-tweet

Chorus

Rockin' robin, Rock-rock-rockin' robin'

Go rockin' robin 'cause we're really gonna rock tonight

Verse 2

Every little swallow, every chick-a-dee, every little bird in the tall oak tree

The wise old owl, the big black crow flappin' their wings singin' "go bird, go"

Chorus

Rockin' robin, Rock-rock-rockin' robin'

Go rockin' robin 'cause we're really gonna rock tonight

Bridge

Well, the pretty little raven at the bird bandstand taught him how to do the bop and it was grand

They started going steady and bless my soul, he out-bopped the buzzard and the oriole

Verse 3 (same as 1)

He rocks in the treetops all day long hoppin' and a-boppin' and singing his song

All the little birds on Jaybird Street love to hear the robin go tweet-tweet-tweet

Chorus

Rockin' robin, Rock-rock-rockin' robin'

Go rockin' robin 'cause we're really gonna rock tonight

Bridge

Well, the pretty little raven at the bird bandstand taught him how to do the bop and it was grand

Verse 4 (same as 1)

He rocks in the treetops all day long hoppin' and a-boppin' and singing his song
