In the dead of winter,
it is delightful
to birdwatch.
It is especially delightful to see birds
of color
this time of year....
I am always envious of those Blogger friends of mine
that have Cardinals visit them.
Alas!
We have only had a few of them visit us, and only ONE time did one visit us in the winter...
for a total of less than 60 seconds.
So, early this winter,
I was thrilled to look outside of my window
only to see a flash of red up in the apple trees.
There is was!
It was red.
But it wasn't a rose-breasted Grosbeak (or was it?).
And it didn't look like a purple finch...
or
WAS IT???
It only stayed for 30 seconds...
long enough for me to get 4 semi-blurry shots!:
But it was a thrill...nevertheless!:
Do you think it was a Purple Finch
or
WAS it a rose breasted grosbeak?
I also have about two pairs
of Hairy woodpeckers here that visit my suet regularly.
I am also envious of all of you that get the Pileated Woodpeckers to come and land so close...
here, they are very shy and do NOT come to my feeders or even close to my yard.
But these guys amuse me and I like seeing them too:
I love it when they visit during
a snow storm!
Sometimes we wonder how they survive out there during blizzards!
I hope you are surprised and amused by something
as you look out your window
this winter's day!
