Here are a few shots of some birds who come to feed in our yard.  Today, with all the snow, the red ones really stand out.  (Of course I couldn't get any closer without them flying away.)

Nice. I love the snow.

And, um, either I'm going insane (entirely possible) or your tree has a face.

I love birds. I blogged recently about the birdlife in our back yard. I would love to have accompanied it with photos, but didn't have my camera with me at the time.

What sort of birds are they? The red one looks particularly beautiful.

Tex,

your tree has a face


Face? What face?

Grand total snow fall here - .3 inches!  That is .3!  It is nice to see some, and you can have our birds too!

I love that tree!

We are starting the meltdown here. I don't mind the snow, but I hate the continuous grey.

The red really stands out on the second pic.

The red ones are Cardinals.  I'm pretty sure that is Ohio's State Bird.  They are everywhere, and I love red so I love to see them.

The others are fat sparrows and I think I saw some doves.  I love birds in the yard.

hahahha.  That's our tree sprite!  The parts glow in the dark, though not well anymore, but provided many nights of entertainment last summer.

Well feel free to come here and shovel.  Kids were out of school today again.  THREE days in a row.  I can feel my iq slipping......buwhahahaha.

Thanks a LOT!  Three more inches fell AFTER I took that picture and I was so fortunate, I got to go shovel it!  I hate shoveling!  Not Shovel HEAT mind you...just shoveling!

Yeah they aren't any fun.  But sometimes in the summer, when we've had a solid couple weeks of sunshine, I like a grey day.  It seems like everything gets a breather.

We got around 6 inches here...fun, fun.

I got about 3 feet from a cardinal today...and I saw a few robins awhile back in January...which was kinda strange, robins shouldn't be here.

I'm pretty sure that is Ohio's State Bird.


Indeed...cardinals are the state bird...ladybugs are the state bug...and the trilobite is the state fossil.

cardinals are the state bird

They are the state bird in about a dozen states, including this one.

Because they are so cool looking.  Red is my fav color so I might be a little biased.

Eww!  Least you didn't have to shovel!

I love the trees! I've seen them before in a picture you shown previously!


I can't see the colors of the birds, probably cause I'm viewing this from the Forums. I like seeing the snow after a snowfall but hate when it sticks around!

the state bird here is the mosquito. Or is it the mockingbird?

Ah yes, the magnificent cardinal birds. They are very similar to an introduced bird called the Bulbul. These have a similar crest on the head, but are grey with red bellies and under-tail feathers.

When I worked at the Garden Center, we used to sell those tree faces, too.

And they creep the hell out of me.

But the birds look nice.
