I loved the pics esp. of the two where a bird is looking at us/you and 'telling' you to "Butt out!"<br />The baby birds are precious. You got some outstanding photos of Papa feeding them!:>)<br />It was esp. interesting to see your bird kitchen. I think I know now why my dome feeder is not popular for what I have on it---it's too small for the bigger birds. I need to get a plate feeder. Thanks for that info!:>)Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01783056492527420487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-35646768788418760802014-08-23T11:25:33.773-05:002014-08-23T11:25:33.773-05:00The bluebirds are so pretty.

I don't know what prompted them to stop at the feeder. I often hear them calling in the trees, but rarely see them.Sweet Posy Dreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915541210527642552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-829992274725686442014-08-22T23:13:43.304-05:002014-08-22T23:13:43.304-05:00Beautiful photos Betsy!

Mama squirrels work so hard, they raise the babies all alone.

I LOVE birds just like you do, love to watch their antics; they squabble with each other and then they shout at me if I'm late to get the sunflower seeds out...do yours yell for dinner too?! I wish I could see a pileated at my feeder, but I don't think they are in this part of MS. However, he definately gave you the "stink-eye" on that pic!!<br /><br />And always, a big heart-felt thank you for the side bar quotes...the one near the end with the girl holding the singing bird..."very little is needed to make a happy life."

Hopefully we have solved that problem and I can start putting out feed again and find some time to do some bird watching when the weather cools some.<br />Now we are dry and need some rain for the first time in a while.<br />Guess we can't ever be happy with the weather ever, haha.<br />Blessings <br />Marilyncarolina nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17300773317928721703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-39642732218850878622014-08-19T19:16:34.181-05:002014-08-19T19:16:34.181-05:00I just love birds - you sure did get an assortment...I just love birds - you sure did get an assortment this summer.
