Feathered Friends

I have lots of friends, and the numbers are growing!


Feathered friends that is :)


They're quite hungry... eating all the time!


Handsome in their flitter-flattering ways...


I enjoy their company... lots of happy chatter...


I need an interpreter to understand their language  {smile}


Happy sweet cheerful little things they are...



A thoughtful moment?  Or a watchful eye?

Shall we have a chat?



Or is this all really just about food... I think so... but I enjoyed your company anyway!


While I was trying to interpret bird language... these two were jealous of my affections, and a game of tug-o-war was in full swing...


Roger is always the instigator to this kind of show... and Annie the reluctant participator.  Do I really have to? ... uh... okay...  



And they're off and running... Annie with her firm grip on the tied end.  Poor Roger didn't have a chance....


Annie's heart is just not in this monkey business... and Roger just doesn't understand why.  He has the energy to run to the moon and back, I think!


So I played tug-o-war with him for a while, while Annie plopped in the snow and watched.



My furry and feathered friends were quite entertaining... we enjoy all the winter visitors that we have here, and with this new bird feeder that my husband got me for Christmas, it has really added space for a lot more birds to visit.

Only one comes to the feeder at a time, but I have counted at least 10 of them in the trees nearby at one time, waiting for their turn.  I love the sweet "chickadee-dee-dee" sound the chickadees make.  It seems we have two different species of chickadees - the mountain chickadee has the white stripe on its head, and then black-capped chickadee.

I want to get a picture of the woodpeckers who often visit, but the lighting is often not good when they come, which is early morning or late evening.

I hope you enjoyed the visit with our feathered friends... what a delightful happy bunch they are.  :)
