At the Feeders and in the Trees - Week 18

The White-breasted Nuthatch has been visiting regularly. He loves black-oil sunflower seeds.

A Mourning Dove let me take a few pics of him on my deck railing. Usually they are on the ground below my feeders but today I got lucky. Do you see the black spots on his wings his big eye seems to be looking right at me.

I've been filling my finch feeders just about daily with nyjer food. I could watch these American Goldfinches all day.

I haven't seen any eye disease on them.

Several juvenile goldfinch are coming to the feeders. They are just too cute.

This little one put on a show drying his wings. Lots of fluttering.

The Northern Cardinals are visiting and I am thankful to get a few pics of this beauty.

At the Feeders and in the Trees - Week 1

I'm starting a new series this week with the birds at my feeders and in the trees. I seem to enjoy having series so here goes another.

The pink-billed Juncos have been on my deck eating seeds this week. They like to eat sunflower hearts.

The Dark-eyed Junco is a star with his pic on the cover of Birds and Blooms.

This male Downy Woodpecker seems to be loving the bark on our birch trees.

The red-bellied woodpecker is visiting too. Although I haven't seen him in a while, I'm happy to see this male at the suet feeder. The male has a solid red cap while the female has a bit of a gray cap.

This feeder is filled with a nut and berry mix for the house finches and goldfinches below.

I bet you recognize this female bird just by looking at her sharp crest and redish/orangish beak.

You guessed it, the female Northern Cardinal.

The male Northern Cardinal.

The White-breasted Nuthatches are seen year round in Kentucky. They are fun to watch as they usually eat upside down or sideways.

The Goldfinches love the thistle feed.

The Tufted Titmouse is another common bird at my feeders. He is very quick to grab a seed and fly to a nearby branch to crack it with his sharp bill and enjoy. He always seems to have his eye on you will his large black eye.

I am seeing some purple finches at the feeders but haven't gotten any great shots. Thanks for stopping by - Judy.

Barns, blooms and birds - Week 2

I decided to make a series on barns, blooms and birds. So this is week 2 of this series.

This barn is less than a mile down the road from me in Kentucky. The picture was taken in the fall when the tobacco was going into the barn to cure. I love the rust on this barn. Funny how the rust color on the barn almost matches the color of the tobacco.

Did you notice the sky around the barn is such a beautiful shade of light blue?

The barn doors are closed and the curing process begins.

The daylilies have been in full bloom this week in my yard.

I was happy to see a white-breasted nuthatch at one of my feeders this week. He hasn't visited in several weeks. He's eating black oil sunflower seeds.
