Happy Thankful Thursday

Happy Thankful Thursday! 

 I am always awake early, it is dark when I wake now. I was happy to see this pretty sunrise on the morning of October 12th. The sunrise now is after 7am and the sunsets almost 6:30pm. November 3rd daylight savings time ends, time for me to hibernate.





A pretty colorful sky and sunrise.




 On October 12th,  I saw my first of the year White-throated Sparrow. Looks like the winter birds are returning, I hope the sparrow comes back so I can take a photo. I also noticed a Downy Woodpecker going inside one of my bird houses, lately more Goldfinches have been at my feeders. I am seeing more Tufted Titmouse, Carolina Wrens and Carolina Chickadees at the feeders too. The Mourning Doves, Northern Cardinals and White-breasted Nuthatches are here too.


 Seen on October 12,   is this is an Eastern Phoebe or a PeWee? edit: David of Travels with Birds 
has helped with the id, this bird is the Eastern Phoebe.





 The full moon on October 13th, it is called the Hunter's moon.


I was thankful for clear skies on the morning of Oct 13th, the full moon was looking bright and beautiful.




I am thankful for the sunrise and each new day!
I am thankful to see the winter birds returning to my yard.
