Linking up with NF Winged and Skywatch Friday
I am sharing some of my backyard birds for NF Winged and some of the skies over my yard one evening. We need some warm days to melt the snow and ice that is still hanging around our yard.

I have a faithful Redbellied Woodie couple that frequently visit my feeders. They especially love the peanuts in the shell.

The Mourning Doves are all puffed out trying to keep warm. The weatherman is forcasting warmer temps at the end of this week and weekend. I hope they are right..

Beautiful shots of the woodpecker and the cloudy skies! You did an excellent job on the moon shot. I can never get it to come out that clear.
Lovely pictures. The moon shot is incredible. It as if one can see the geographical demarcations and the craters on the moon's surface !
Looks like I would like to change backyards with you now and then!
Amazing. Those species don't live here in Holland.
I will add you to my list and I'm gonna follow this!

Wow the picture of the moon is fantastic.

LOVE that moon shot. The moon has been so beautiful lately. And I love the picture of those Mourning Doves - they look cozy :)
Congrats on the new meme, Eileen -- I'll add it to my meme list. Lovely photos today. xo
Awesome shot of the Moon!! Tried - but couldn't see the Chinese!! Thank you for reminding me that I need to buy more seeds for my birds. I just have thistle for the little song birds. My woodpecker isn't fond of that too much!
How do you get those moon shots - amazing photo!
Love the mourning doves Eileen. And your cardinal collage.
Merry Christmas.
beautiful moon shot. and i love the mourning doves all clustered on the icy branches!
Beautiful shots of the woodpecker.
The moon is really great, you can see the craters.
I wish you and your family a merry Christmas and a very healthy 2014.
Your bird shots are great! I really like your close up of the moon too.
The pink hues in the sky are so pretty!! Love the redbellieds...we have a family in our yard, too. Beautiful birds.
Lovely feeder photos, and the sky and Moon!! super. I cannot imagine snow on our front lawn like that, we have had it once here in 12 years, and that was the first time for about 50 years it fell in our area!!! Cheers from Jean..
That moon shot is amazing! It's so clear and stunning. Love the bird photos, too. The mourning doves do look cold.
Love those icy branches and moon shots. Hope it warms up a bit...
Your moon photos are really awesome. It looks as if the feeders in your yard are really busy this time of the year.
Hi Eileen. great birds in your yard. love the woodpecker and wonderful skies. the moon is fantastic an the last shot incredible.

Nice pictures - I like the icy twigs.
I will always take too cold over too hot - which is a bit of a problem really given I live somewhere hot!!
