BIRD CHATTER POST AND A VERY HAPPY FIRST DAY OF NOVEMBER

Inside voices please!

Maybe, but that's how it goes on a Saturday Morning at the Bird Feeder.

Thanks for looking, and if you had one, I hope your Halloween went well. We had 17 little Trick o'Treaters and the doorbell stopped ringing at about 8.00 p.m. 

The numbers are going down, kids are getting older. It seems also that people are holding more Halloween parties these days for their kiddos. But the ones who turned up looked darling dressed in their costumes. Some quite elaborate (one daddy was heard to say, "You've got to take off your proton pack son", whatever that is. 

There were princesses in pretty sparkly dresses, and others just wearing a cute Halloween headband (kudos to that mom, or dad). The oldest threesome (girls) were about 12 years' old. All who rang the bell were very polite. Even the three-year-old who turned up at the door with her parents behind her, said thank you when she left and only took one piece of candy. In fact, all of them followed the rules, even when offered more. 

We have a load of candy left. Temptation and willpower is being held back for the time being. We will see what tomorrow brings.

Have a great weekend everyone! 

In case you saw my Sunday post, I did my usual published too early trick. I yanked it back this time. It will be there again on its proper publishing time, Sunday (though it has probably popped up in the reading list). Sorry about that.

For our international friends to translate:

"Someone is trying to make our space look more pleasing to us birds."

"She gave us extra!"

"That's very nice but I am only interested in the birdseed."

"And a pumpkin. I don't think it's real though."

"A bit much?"

SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - I HAVE A…

Life is a little confusing at times.

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

Thanks for flapping your wings 

in this direction, and have a 

great weekend!

For our international friends:

I have a question for you.

Photo 2:

What would that be?

How can you drink a drink but can't food a food?

Photo 3:

I don't think he has an answer for that one.

Kids!

SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - WHERE ARE THEY?

 

The Catbird didn't join in. He had been out of town and missed the whole visit. He was happy to be told all about it by his feathered friends, plus one furry friend.

And of course, as we all know, that's how it goes sometimes on a Saturday Morning at the Birdfeeder.

Have a great day everyone.

Thanks for stopping by.

BIRD CHATTER POST - IMAGINATION

 

And that's how it goes on a 

Saturday Morning at the Bird Feeder.

Thanks for stopping by and 

have a great weekend.

SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - THERE ARE TIMES WHEN...

 

Not exactly word of the day but an expression that comes to my mind right now. 

Thank you for visiting everyone and I hope your weekend goes well. 

SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - TOTALLY, TOTALLY…

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

Thanks for flying in and don't forget to keep your feathers from sticking. Stay away from that 'vel-crow'...

and have a great weekend!

A FEW FEATHERED FRIENDS FOR YOU - 1-23-25

As you may already know, I get a lot of joy from seeing all our feathered friends out back, especially as I am not able to go too far afield lately. I am starting off with an American Goldfinch who managed to get a drink of water. The snow and ice were melting in the bird bath. I have put links on all the names of these birds if you would like to find out more information, and hopefully I am not repeating the same photos. I know you've seen the same birds at some point or another.

Next I managed to get a photo of a White-breasted nuthatch, before he darted off with seed in mouth. He is a flitterer, in that he flits in and he flits out.

A closer one of the Northern Flicker. Such a handsome bird. You can tell this one is a male because he has a black mustache. Females don't have them. I will do a post on him later with more information. Because he has only just started visiting, I am enjoying finding out more about him.

Next is an Eastern Bluebird. 

For years we never saw any out back, and now we get several and often. 

Here's a White-throated Sparrow.

A Carolina Wren on one of our snow days.

I am finishing off with another Eastern Bluebird, a male Northern Cardinal and a few House Finches on the same snow day. Our Christmas tree is showing on the right. I had to move fast to get them altogether, no time to frame it out of the picture, and I didn’t want to cut the cardinal out.

That's all for now. I hope you have enjoyed.

SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - ON HIS WAY UP NORTH - 1-18-25

 

The Kissing Bunnies were doing what they usually do and not paying much attention, but the little House Finch seemed interested in their new guest.

A White-throated Sparrow was waiting for her partner but decided to practice her half of the pas de deux. She was tired and feeling very blurry! She couldn't focus at all! 

The Eastern Bluebird was taking it all in from her branch on the tree above.

Next word of the day, "Quirky" but we will wait on that one. It seems to explain things somehow.

And that's the way it goes on a Saturday Morning at the Bird Feeder. Frappé was soon on his way back up North, and for some strange reason, Camera Lady was heading for the coffee pot.

Thanks for looking and I hope your day

is a great one!
