Winter's Garden Birds and Kissing Mourning Doves~

The Tufted Titmouse, Blue Jays, Mourning Doves and White-breasted Nuthatches are all year round visitors here, while the Dark-eyed Juncos and White-throated Sparrows only come in late Autumn, until late Winter.

I have quite a few shepherd hooks around the garden that hold plants up, as well as assorted bird feeders.
It also makes a nice perch, to get some captures of birds as they make their daily visits for nourishment.

 

I am linking up with Stewart at:

The Mourning Doves cannot eat seed from the feeders, that I use and so, for them as well as those birds that are ground eaters, in the Winter months I provide them with a bit of shelter as well as some protection from would be predators, and spread seed under a large table umbrella, set up on the ground.
They are such sweet birds and they seem to be kissing one another much these days, as well as preening one another with such affection...Spring is in the air~
