Video: Thirsty birds!
The bird bath is very busy this morning - a nice opportunity to watch the different ways how birds drink. Some take several little sips, like the Finches and Bluebirds, some drink dramatically with an open beak like the Starling, and others drink like they were on a bender the night before, like the MoDo.
Snow days
always make the birds congregate. And this year, for reasons we all probably somehow can relate to, I am enjoying seeing them eat together in peace a bit more than usual.
(pairings are: Whitebreasted Nuthatch + American Goldfinch, Redbellied Woodpecker + Redbreasted Nuthatch, House Finch + American Goldfinch, House Finch + Tufted Titmouse)
It was picture day,
and everybody had their portrait taken. Those who are small in size got a full-body one 😃
