On a Windy Day

The very cold temperature returned and stayed here for a week.  Even on a sunny day, we shivered with the chilly wind.

"It is chilly....😣😣"

A couple of Bald Eagles were perched on the regular tree.  As we walked around the reservoir, one flew over us.

"It's been cold.  Don't catch any virus👍👍."

There were enough Canada Geese around.  In the protected area, five of them were almost suntanning.

"The sun really keeps us warm in the early spring😊😊."

Meeting at the Feeders

In the spring, birds are busy.  They often meet each other at the feeder.

Bewick's Wren to Downy Woodpecker:  "Good to see you.  You are my suet friend."

Black-capped Chickadee to Bewick's Wren:  "I am first.  Just wait a minute."

Yellow-rumped Warbler (left):  "When are you leaving for the woods?"

Townsend's Warbler:  "Not yet.  I love the suet here."

Spring Cleaning

 In the morning it is still very cold, so Chestnut-backed Chickadees still stops over here before leaving for the woods.

"I still like your suets.😋"

In a sunny afternoon,   he/she can take a quick spring bath.

"It's about the time to clean up my feathers.  Spring cleaning!!👍👍"

I even saw a Townsend's Warbler taking a bath the other day.

"I am tired of the heavy feathers.  I like to get all cleaned up.👍👍"

Anna's Hummingbirds

 Anna's Hummingbirds are tough through the cold months.  They like the sugar juice I  hang at several places in the backyard (homemade:  one Cup of water and 2 tablespoonfuls of sugar.  Boil and cool).  I could tell there are at least three of them around.

"Slurp, slurp,  I like this feeder best.  I can perch on the swing to drink😋."

"I like this flat feeder👍.  I know you peek at me!"

"I like this feeder.  It is a big one which never runs out of the juice😍😍😍."
