1. Miney love the walks and the warmer weather.







2. A mosaic sharing my yard birds, the Carolina Wren, and the Bluebird couple. 




The Carolina Wren is singing loudly.  



The male Bluebird is so pretty!





3. He showed off the colors on his back and his chest. 




The female sits nearby, looking pretty too.







4. A quick walk with Miney up and down our street, these were some of the birds I could hear.





Lunch visit with son, DIL and grand-kiddies and Winnie the Corgi.




It was nice to finally see our Daffodils blooming.






5. Hubby enjoys a walk with Miney on the fire road, it is good for him to get outdoors walking.






6. On the dialysis days, it is usually just me and Miney taking a walk on the local fire road. The trees were still bare at this time, you can see the lake through the trees.  The trees are starting to get the reddish buds. 






Birds heard at Prettyboy on the Merlin App.





7. The Peacock was sitting in a tree in the back of our yard.  He was showing off his pretty tail feathers. 






8. We must have had a bear visit early on this day, my bird feeder made of metal was bent and twisted. I found the bent feeder on the ground at the bottom of our deck steps. Miney could smell the bear, her hair was standing up and she was barking crazy. I did not actually see the bear but we have had them visited our yard last year.

I am sharing a mish-mash of photos, my back yard birds and our dog Miney, the neighborhood Peacock, views from the fire road walks and the bike trail walk. I can hear a FOY Eastern Phoebe calling in my yard too, no photos yet. 


1. At this time our weather was finally warming up some, Spring still seems far off, the scenery of bare trees and fallen leaves on the fire road walk with Miney. The Prettyboy reservoir is still low due to the drought. 






2. On some of our busier days, I just take Miney for a walk up and down our street.  She is happy still lots of smells around. 






3. My backyard birds, are the Blue Jay and the Cardinals. They are always looking for the peanut nuggets. 




4. At the NCR trail, the sled dogs are finished their run and getting ready to go back into their transport vehicle. 




5. Scenes from our walk on the NCR Bike trail. The sled dogs were packing up to go home, we saw some icicles hanging off a boulder along the trails. Our weather has up and down like a yo-yo, warms days and still some very cold days.




6. There were lots of Canada Geese hanging out on the Friendly Farm Ponds. There were some ducks but too far away to see which species. 






7. The Peacock will come up on our deck sometimes, looking for food or just to hang out. 








8. The male Pine Warbler has found my feeders. I've been hearing them calling a lot lately.  They are breeding in the forest around our home. 




9. The tarp covering our wood piles gets blown around in the high winds we were having.  The Peacock loves to sit on the wood pile. 






Bonus image, one of our birthday gifts to the grandsons was a little jeep they could ride in. I think they love it. It is an outside ride, but my son just put it together.
