Wishes for the new year

Bluebirds visited us in Maine

a few days ago...

hope they are a symbol of happiness

in 2018 along with kindness,

peace, contentment and good health 

for all.

 

The juncos along with blue jays, chickadees, nuthatches,

sparrows, cedar waxwings, tufted titmouse, starlings, cardinals,

woodpeckers, mourning doves, gray squirrels 

and the little red squirrel are visitors.

We try to make sure they all have food.

Peanuts are a favorite of the blue jays and squirrels.

It was -13 this morning.

 

 

 Here is the white-throated sparrow

taking shelter in the snow covered rhododendron.

I love painting birds.

Josie and I send our best wishes!

Sunday morning

The sun lit up this lovely cardinal this morning

as the junco gathered sunflower seeds...

Snowing Again

This morning the snow brought this little red squirrel
to our bird feeder...



Some birds had to wait for their turn



except for the junco who gathered the fallen
sunflower seeds from the fluffy snow!

Sharing Food

Today we had another snow storm
and I was glued to the window with
my camera. Lucky to have a birds eye
view of the birdfeeder, I took many
photos as the snow and birds flew by the window.
Quite a bit of seed had fallen
into the snow and this unlikely pair
appeared to be sharing a meal.

This critter could be the reason so many seeds
made it to the ground.
