Blessed…..

safe and warm inside after feeding my little feathered

ones….feeling blessed….

a song in my heart

I had an unusual visitor this afternoon at my bird feeder.

I haven't seen this little creature around here before

but enjoyed watching it share the bounty with my

regulars.....

"a bird does not sing because it has an answer...

it sings because it has a song"

~chinese proverb

watching these little ones makes my heart sing......



the redheaded stranger

earlier this spring, before the butterfly bush ate my bird feeder, we had a visit from a redheaded stranger. no...not willie nelson...this inquisitive fellow. i wish i'd snapped a shot of him when he first landed. he hung upside down like a bat until he could figure out how to right himself. i'd seen him around before, further down in the yard, usually in the pecan tree. i guess curiosity just got the better of him and he needed to see what all the hoo haw was about up at the big house.
he threw seeds for a while, searching for bugs or nuts, or i don't know what. i guess he didn't find anything to his liking 'cause he finally headed back to the pecan tree for better pickin's.
