Happy Spring everyone!  We are finally seeing our daffodils blooming and here and there we can see buds on the deciduous trees in our area. 

Another mish-mash post of various images from February. Included are Miney the dog, my yard birds and I am now including a flashback photo of one of my many favorite birds from my archives. 

Click on images for better viewing.

1. Feb 14th, Our Valentine's Day walk with Miney. We walked part, the fire road I call the Pine tree loop. 

2. Feb 15th, a few of my back yard birds: the Dark-eyed Junco and the Northern Cardinals.

3. The Carolina Wren is another of my common back yard birds.  

4. Feb 15th, Miney waiting patiently for something to happen. A walk or a treat?

5. Feb 16th, I am sharing various Miney images, she is a happy dog. 

6. Feb 18th, this Northern Mockingbird is a bully. He/she chases any bird that land on my deck railing on the birdbath.  Other birds are lucky they can grab a suet nugget and fly off before the Mockingbird can chase it.  It will not chase off the squirrels that come and eat the food.

7. Did you know a group of ladybugs is known as a loveliness of ladybugs. Ladybugs are also called Ladybirds. The first I heard of the loveliness of ladybirds was in a book I read recently "All the Colors of the Dark" by Chris Whitaker.

8. Flashback from a Facebook memory and my archives Feb 2013,  a pretty female cardinal sitting on my bird feeder. Does she look like she is wearing lipstick?

These images are from early February. At this time our weather has been stuck in a cold and wet pattern. We seem to be getting days of low temperatures and more rain/sleet/snow every couple of days. I am looking forward to the time change on March 9 and to have some warmer temps.

1. Feb 9th, sharing some of my back yard birds, like the White-throated Sparrow.  They wait patiently for me to come outside and put out some nuggets for them to eat.  

2. Below are the White-throated Sparrow and the Northern Mockingbird.  

3. Feb 9th, Miney on her daily walk.  

4. Feb 11th, our walk with Miney on the fire road to the front section of the Prettyboy reservoir. 

5. Feb 11th, the White-throated Sparrow a winter bird in my area. I am seeing a lot of them, more than any other bird. It is strange, if they see me look out my kitchen door they fly to the deck railing to see if I am bringing out food for them.  

6. Feb 12th, my yard birds included the Dark-eyed Junco, the Northern Mockingbird and the Blue Jays. 

7. I caught the Blue Jay on the deck railing chowing down on some peanut suet nuggets.  Usually the Mockingbird chases them off.  

8. An image from my Florida archives, Feb 2017.  I have a Anhinga posing, their eyes are colorful. The blue-green colors are vibrant during mating season.
