Oodles of Birds to the Bird Feeding Stations~

Carolina Wrens...they were the first wee birds that brought to me the love of birds some 32 years ago, and it has been such a rewarding fascination. 
To be able to watch them, feed them, care for them, appreciate them, to understand how these wee ones make it and survive in such cold winters and being able to then photograph them...got to just plain love that!

I am linking up with Stewart at:

Carolina Chickadees are the second smallest birds to come for seeds from our feeding stations. 
They along with the Wrens have used our nesting boxes over the years too~
 

 

Every year for the past few years, I have known just about the exact days and week that the Cedar Waxwings would come to feast upon the berries and fruit.
This year, I thought that I was ready for them and then realized sadly, that I missed them all... less these 2. It was a dreary, gray, rainy, misty type of morning and I saw them eating Crabapples at the tree beyond our driveway.
I thought to my self...self...if you do not take these, no matter, you will have no recollection of the Cedar Waxwings for the season.
The images turned out so bleak and I was so ready to delete them, when I thought...hmm, what about a little creativity...hit the "invert Colours" button and tahdah;') I really like these...they look like little Oriental style watercolour paintings...well a little bit that way;')

Some do not care for the Blue Jays, but I have learned that all birds have a place in this world, and I enjoy them very much.
 

 

 

 

What back yard bird feeding station would be complete without the Gray Squirrels.  Where the birds are, the food is, there they most assuredly shall be as well~
 

 

This chap looks like the hiding of the fruit for a later day had been at hand, or rather front paws and face;')~
 

 

We do not have a lot of little White-breasted Nuthatches to visit the grove, and yet there are a few that come daily, all year round~ 
 

 

We have oodles and oodles of Tufted Titmouse~
 

 

And even more oodles and oodles of American Robins~
 

 

I have always been told, and ,or thought that what we have are the Downy Woodpeckers, though Hairy Woodpeckers looks very much the same and also thrive in our area...
I am always banking on my shares being the Downy...just because;')~
