We make exceptions for hummingbirds, and there's a finch sock out in the pine tree. But I'm still having to continually rinse off my patio! LOL Hey, when you are named over a bird, you make allowances.

You have a much wider variety of birds than we do here on Long Island, especially the Eastern Bluebird and Tufted titmouse. I really enjoyed this wonderful post!

Poor birds! Didn't expect the cat to join the queue for water. <br />Today a pair of hadeda ibis explored our pond in progress.

It sounds like we get many of the same birds, except I have never seen a Bald Eagle here--many hawks and owls, though. Today, we put up a suet feeder for the first time, and it has been fun to watch the birds discovering it. :)Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2608010804192268779.post-35734555409080018492016-02-21T15:33:14.009-05:002016-02-21T15:33:14.009-05:00You had a great number and variety Pam.

What strikes me is that you have much more colorful birds than we have, for instance the beautiful cardinals and bluebirds. We also had bird count two weeks ago.<br />Janneke https://www.blogger.com/profile/11056916431881916066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2608010804192268779.post-33683760861577314172016-02-21T11:31:44.068-05:002016-02-21T11:31:44.068-05:00Lovely pictures!

Have you ever participated in Project FeederWatch, the citizen science project that runs from autumn through early April? One learns so much about the birds that we share space with while doing such projects. Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.com
