These are birds from my yard.  I did have an exciting night when a Screech Owl showed up outside my bedroom window. I was alerted by a couple of Titmouse fussing at the owl. The warblers were still in the yard eating berries as of Oct 8th.  

10/8/18....The Eastern Screech Owl outside my window, this was the second time I saw the owl right outside my window. 

I pushed down the blind just enough to take a few photos. I did not want to spook the owl away. This is a link to the first Screech owl yardbird

10/5/18....The male Black-throated Blue Warbler was enjoying the Devil's Walking Stick berries.  I also saw the female but she was a little shy. 

10/5/18...Two Cape May Warblers also loving the berries. 

Above and below more of the Cape May Warblers. 

Another shot of the Black-throated Blue Warbler.

Happy Thankful Thursday

Happy Thankful Thursday!

I was very happy with the flowers we picked this spring, they are still blooming, the Lantana, Upright Fuchsia and Salvia. Some of the trees are shedding just brown leaves, not many colors being seen here. 

The female Red-bellied Woodpecker has found the suet ball feeder.

The Lantana is one of my favorite plants we bought back in the spring time.

Can you find the little bullfrog? Our little pond with the frog, turtle and moose yard ornaments.

The Upright Fuchsia has been blooming since spring.

"Happiness blooms from within."

Always thankful for the blue sky..

I am thankful for my pretty flowers still blooming in October. 
A thankful heart is a happy heart.

Happy Easter everyone!

These are some of my more recent neighborhood and backyard bird photos.  The Great Blue Herons are nesting in the woods across from my driveway, they can be seen daily and heard making their weird noises. I took some shots also from the nearby fire road of the GB Heron on the nest. We have our very own neighborhood heronry.

January 13th the Blue Jays again were numerous visitors.

Jan. 19th the Red-bellied Woodpecker is a daily visitor, they like the suet, peanuts and peanut suet balls.

Jan 19th, one of the squirrels came to the window, I think he was asking for more bird food.

Jan 12th the Pine Warbler chowing down on some suet.

Chinese Zodiac, it is the Year of the Dog. I am sharing my grand-doggie Nibbles.  This was my son's phone photo. Nibbles, she is a cutie!

I am sharing some backyard birds and some of our local breeding birds in the woods around our home.

A red-bellied woodpecker sharing some peanut nuggets with a chipmunk on our deck railing.

A closer look at the chipper.

The Scarlet Tanager can be heard and seen from my deck sometimes.

We have our own Great Blue Heron rookery in the woods across from our driveway. You would not believe the crazy sounds they make sometimes.

A close look at the Scarlet Tanager, they breed in the tree tops in the woods next to our home.

A fussy thru the window shot of my male Ruby-throated Hummingbird.
