Hi Eileen, What a neat idea to have a list of birds seen from the treadmill. I like the idea of getting the exercise and watching for birds at the same time. Beautiful sky shots too. Thank you for sharing.
delightful, thank you for sharing this little piece of you
Must make walking on that treadmill a bit easier seeing all those birds. : )
Hello Eileen,
Beautiful photos, and so many cute little birds!
Enjoy your new week ahead!
Wow - the bird sightings are amazing.
Eileen, só posso aplaudir! Lindo ,li9ndo! Adorei todas as fotos! bjs, ótima semana! chica
That's great insentive to get on the treadmill each day. And quite a great variety of visitors!!!
You are so funny. A treadmill list! I'm a bit late as I bought a new computer and the air is a bit colourful as I swear over it!

I actually think that if I had a room to exercise with a window to the world, I would love it too, Eileen! You have such a great eye for detail on distinguishing the Sparrow varieties!!...:)JP
gorgeous photos of these pretty little birds, eileen! thank you for sharing. wish you a great week ahead:))
You have a lovely view out your window while on the treadmill! Wonderful shots!
Enjoyed. :)
So much to be impressed with in this post Eileen! The beautiful photos, the number of wonderful birds you have in your yard, the fact that your home is arranged so that you can see them while you exercise, and last but not least the fact that you can walk the treadmill, take pictures, and think about the fact that you are seeing a new bird (and even to be able to identify the ones you've seen before) and all that without falling off the treadmill!! I am positive I would fall and break my neck if I thought about anything but the treadmill.
Thank you so much for sharing the beauty!!!
It is not my birthday, but still I need 55 years to know I can run marathon.
And at your age, your list of birds will grow as well.
Any sighting of a Fox Sparrow males it a good day.
This is a great collection!
Wonderful photos ! You have lots of birdies like we do here and a nice forest to , isn't it wonderful I love it all . Thanks for sharing , have a good day !
Hi Eileen, That Fox Sparrow is so pretty. I don't think I have ever seen one. Have a fabulously nice coming week!
pretty fox! i like the owl shot, too.
Quite a collection of beautiful birds! The owl caught my eye. I always hear them at night, but I've never been able to see one.
A great way to watch birds, out your window while you're on the treadmill!
How wonderful that you can see all those birds while walking on your treadmill!
Darling birds Eileen. Loved your photos. Thanks for stopping by and have a great week.
What beautiful sky photos!
Delightful bird images, and the collage is very nice!
Love your photos . . .
Cute little Fox Sparrow!
You can see so many birds when you are walking on your treadmill :)
Great photos of the Fox sparrow and the other birds!
Hello Eileen!!
Such beautiful little birds!Love the owl picture!
So cute!Like your collage photos,the fantastic skies and the amazing sunset!
Thank you for sharing!Have a happy week!
Dimi...
It is fascinating to see all the different birds that have visited your yard. I was especially surprised you were able to photograph the owl. Thank you for sharing these, Eileen!
Wonderful!!! All of them!! The owl...outside my window. I'd be elated. And Eileen, love love LOVE the post concept (Treadmill birds)
Gorgeous bird photos and lovely skies, Eileen!
I don't know if there are other people with a treadmill list, but yours is surely the best one. :)
Thank you for sharing and have a lovely week!
Hi Eileen,
fabulous photos of all these birds, the sunset and the moon. Amazing !
Best regards, Synnöve
I love it that you have a treadmill list, Eileen. Thank you for the wonderful photos this morning.
What a hoot, Eileen!

Amazing how many different birds there are--even on your treadmill list! Love that! You have beautiful scenery to look at right from your windows.
What amazes me is the identifying of this or that sparrow because while I know that some look different from others when they are all together in a flock here as they usually are I just think 'sparrows' :) Lovely shots as usual ! :)
I am admiring your treadmill birds, such a variety, many of which we do not have here. I admire, too, that you actually use your treadmill. Mine sits next the bed and I am trying desperately to make friends with it. I think because we are on the prairie and not near or in a wooded area, we don't get the variety of song birds.
Amazing skies....love all the birds too!
Happy Mosaic Monday!

Such a nice mish mash, Eileen.
Isn't it so much more fun to exercise when there is something beautiful outside the window?
I can't believe how many birds you get. That is so awesome.
May You always dwell in such beauty!
It is always fun to watch your beautiful birds that don't live here in Finland.
What a wonderful way to exercise! Love the inspiration you share with us Eileen.
Jemma
What sweet shots.
Always with the great bird shots and you always have an impressive capture of the moon. I need some tips on how you do that. What lens and settings are you using? If you don't mind my asking. I'd really love to add some great moon shots to my repertoire.
Enjoy your week!
Again you catched so many Birds!
I like your nature Photography, Eileen!
Have a happey week ... Frauke
Beautiful images Eileen, and I wish you a lovely week ahead too.
You are so blessed to be surrounded by all these beautiful birds and nature.
Wonderful shots and that is a great list!

What a beautiful 'mish mash' ~ gorgeous nature photography as always!
Happy Week to you ~ ^_^
How wonderful you can birdwatch while on the treadmill.
Worth a Thousand Words
Great birds. That's an impressive treadmill bird list!
Lovely combination of birds!
I can't believe you have a treadmill list going now Eileen. lol When I posted the American Coot on my blog this week I wanted to say it was a lifer but my tea and gardening friends would think I was nuts.
What many pretty birds you have shown us. You know well their names each. It is also a big surprise for me! Have a good new week. I am smiling.
Wonderful images of the Fox Sparrow bird. Very cute.
Terrific captures for the day as always, Eileen!! And, YES, I love your mish mash, too!! Thanks for sharing, as always!! Have a great week!!
What an impressive mish-mash and a fabulous word! Love the mosaic and all the little birds!

Well I was wondering what a 'treadmill window' was until I got to the last sentence! Now I understand. :) What a lovely view to have while you're exercising. And your three sky shots make a great collection together.
Not many types of birds over here. Love to see the pics you snapped ☺
Wonderful photos like always!
Excelente trabalho e belas fotografias.
Um abraço e continuação de uma boa semana.
What a wonderful variety.
A nice list of birds and pretty diverse. Fox Sparrow I had never seen but I find it very beautiful! The pictures of Snowflake, the sky, the moon and the beautiful glow of the sun is great.
I wish you a nice week.
What a lovely set of pictures. I do like the Sparrows in the snow.
Another lovely sequence with so many bird shots!...
And the sky shots, from your deck... absolutely stunning, Eileen!...
A remarkable post, as usual!
Have a great day, Eileen!

Hello Eileen, it's amazing the number of birds you see whilst on your treadmill,..great images of the sparrows,..I like them all, and especially the one of the owl looking through your treadmill window:) Lovely post Eileen!
Hi Eileen, what a wonderful collection of photos. The Sparrows in the snow are so sweet. Awesome shot of the owl. Love your collage!! Thanks for sharing and have a great week. xo
...and a lovely mish-mash this is
Você mora em lugar muito bonito!
Muita sorte poder ver todos esses passarinhos!
eles não sentem frio?
que lindinhos!
bjs
You have quite a collection of birds! That would be awesome to observe while you're by the window. The Fox Sparrow is a GOOD bird!
Your bird photos are fun, Eileen, the Fox Sparrow looks sleepy. The Screech Owl is a real stand-out, they are such darling birds. I used to see them in the trees at night near the lamps on my college campus. I can't ever seem to see them hear, though I could hear one making identity inquiries yesterday.;-)
Wow! You are a pro birder. I love the name Fox Sparrow. That is a very cute name (and bird).
What a wonderful list you have achieved just by looking out your window, Eileen! I love the fox sparrow - we have them here in WA, too. The little owl is a fun sighting. Nice sky shots, too! Hope you are having a nice week. x Karen
Such a lovely mish-mash, you have some very nice sights from your treadmill window.
I love the way the owl is looking, and your sky shots are great too!
Hope you had a lovely weekend and that this week is going well too.
The days do pass by so quickly.
All the best Jan
You've seen a lot of birds from the treadmill. Somehow, I'm picturing you on the treadmill with binoculars!
Love your birds, Eileen. And I am not even a 'bird person.' You have a nice place for them to hang our, that lovely woods next to you. There are less and less places for a lot of birds to live.
Thank you for peeking in on my KP's cat picture.
She was so proud! So was I. Her big sister, BP, is very good with drawing, it will be hard for KP is she tries to live up to her. I bought them both drawing books but hadn't given KP her first yet.

You have an impressive list for the treadmill Eileen. The Fox Sparrow is a real beauty with that well marked breast and "foxy" colouration. I didn't manage to get any pictures of our full moon last night even though I woke up at 3am and the moonlight was brightening the bedroom.
Not a bad mish mash I would say! Many people would be delighted.
Love all the pics. I should dig our birdfeeder out. It got broken last year, and for some reason it hasn't gotten fixed yet. Love watching birds.
What an incentive to workout! Great sightings, Eileen!
A screech owl? It makes me want to get a treadmill! That's a pretty cool list!
What a cute little bird! And a great addition to your list.
I've been trying hard lately to get a shot of the moon here but every time I try it's too overcast, hopefully now we're living by the beach it may be a bit easier :-)
I love the idea of the "treadmill birds". They really must love your garden, and what a joy to have something so lovely to watch out for while you exercise. Have a wonderful weekend ahead Eileen and thank you for stopping by my blog this week.
Exceptional treat - thank you!
Have a Beautiful Day, Eileen!!
Peace :)
Holy cow...over 100 comments... You always present a beautiful set of photos and your treadmill list is more than I have seen in my yard.. Michelle
Pretty birds and I love all your gorgeous skies!
lovely winter birds
