SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER

The birds say, "The woman of the house is letting her imagination fly again." "That it is," she says.

And that's how the cheetahs and birds go on a

Saturday Morning at the Bird Feeder!

Have a great weekend everyone.

"Why don't catbirds play poker in the jungle. Can you guess? Too many cheetahs."

"Oh boy!"

"I resent that, don't make me climb up there."

"Uh-oh, I'm out of here. It's time for me to fly home."

"All's good, I can take a joke."

"Phew!"

SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - THE SNOW IS NOT DELIGHTFUL...

 

Thankfully, the snow and icy rain didn't last very long.  Davina the Mourning Dove is smiling. Jimmy the Dark-eyed Junco is happy too.

That's how it goes on a Saturday Morning at the Bird Feeder, where our feathered friends are taken care of as best we can. 

Thanks for flying in and I hope your weekend is a great one.

"Told you so!"

SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - SNOW DAY AND UP IN THE SKY...

 The geese were fed up with all the snow and decided to pack up and fly further south. You can just about see their suitcases tucked under their wings. No? Well, I'm sure they're there!

Meanwhile, far down below them....

The squirrel has very sharp claws and has dug down to one of the flat feeders. I asked him if he could bring five hundred family members over to do the same to our driveway. I told him I would pay them peanuts, but the kind of peanuts they would like.

I think you are getting your classic lines mixed up there buddy! Oh, and the American Beaver came on by. 

Buck the Beaver also said he could chew his way through the ice. If he can fell trees with his teeth, I know he can help us with our ice problem. We have lived in this house 30 plus years, and we have never had it like this before. The snow shovel that has dug us out of many feet of snow in the past, threw its metal hands up in disgust.

In the meantime, the Dark-eyed Junco is digging down to parts unknown, while ducking pinecones. They are still falling off that tree and then there are those Kissing Bunnies again. Missy Mourning Dove is expressing herself today.

Sophie Squirrel finally let go of her acorn after being offered a nice cup of hot coffee with a few flowers. She's feeling much warmer now.

"Keep up back there. No slacking!"

2nd Photo:

"I have struck oil. I mean birdseed!"

3rd Photo:

"Oil or birdseed, that is the question. Be it nobler to leave the seed? Or should I let them eat cake?
"If it were me I would take the cake!"

4th Photo:

"Do you want some help? I am very good at digging and building. I come with my own tools too!"

"How are you with heavy snow and ice on driveways? The man of the house could really do with your help."

5th Photo:

No words.

6: Photo:

"Tsk! Don't they ever quit? They are so embarrassing! I wonder what their kids think?"

7th Photo:

"How very kind. Thank you!"

8th Photo:

"And that's how it goes on a Saturday Morning at the Bird Feeder. Thanks for the visit. Have a great day!"

SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - THEY'RE BACK!

 

We certainly did and to my friends out there, thank you for flying in and putting up with my nonsense.

That's all from a Saturday Morning at the Bird Feeder!

Have a great weekend!

"Did you miss us?"

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.

What would that be?

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

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

Kids!

SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - IT STOPPED RAINING

I have felt a little under the weather and have taken a blog break for a few days. These few posts have been set up beforehand.  I will be back sometime next week.

And that’s how it goes on a 

Saturday Morning at the Bird Feeder. 

Thanks for stopping by

and have a great weekend.

For our overseas friends, a transcript for the translation button on my side bar:

1st Photo: rainy day on our deck.

2nd Photo: Sophie Squirrel: "I am happy it stopped raining so hard."

Daphne Dove: "You won't have to cover your head with your tail."

3rd Photo: Froggie 3: "I thought we were going to float away."

Daphne Dove: "I have ordered water wings for us all."

Sophie Squirrel: "For me too? I am not part of your family. I don't expect you to include me."

Daphney Dove: "You too! We live on the same blue dot. Carl Sagan said that. As far as I am concerned, we are all related."

Carl Sagan's story of the Pale Blue Dot can be found here.

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

 

Wait for it!

Mr. Owl saved the day and all was well because of his kindness in sharing, which made Mrs. Dove feel so much better.

And that's how it goes on a Saturday Morning at the Bird Feeder. Jokes are still groaners but everyone is well here. I hope you are too. 

Thanks for stopping by.

SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - IS SHE BACK?

Not necessarily in that order! And she will be telling you all about it real soon. 

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

Enjoy your day everyone and thank you

for visiting. I will be catching up with you all 

this coming week. 

SNOW DAY FOR THE BIRDS ON MONDAY, JANUARY 6TH, 2025

 Last Monday (1/6/25) was our first significant snowfall of the season. I spent a lot of my time looking at the birds outside. These are photos I took. I have added links to all their names.

The male House Finches were the first to appear after we replenished the birdseed.

This was the first White-throated Sparrow I had seen in a long time. 

A Carolina Wren, always a visitor thankfully.

I felt lucky to get a photo of this Red-bellied Woodpecker before he flew out of frame.

A male Northern Cardinal and I think an American Goldfinch.

A Mourning Dove and a House Finch.

A Blue Jay, another regular visitor.

An Eastern Blue Bird.

The House Finches and one Dark-eyed Junco looked like they were having a party.

I think this little House Finch was waiting for a spot to open up.

This is where I am ending my post. I hope you enjoyed my little birds enjoying their snow day. 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope your day is a great one.
