Late February gave us an old fashioned snowstorm

While late February gave us an old fashioned winter storm that resulted in this:

Heavy snowfall

The picnic table is almost buried!

It also seemed to bring in the birds who happily gobbled up the sunflower seeds!

Blessed With Birds

What a Spring! Rain, rain and more rain! One week of sunshine and back to rain, rain and MORE RAIN! I’ve had enough! But it hasn’t stopped the birds from coming out! This year I’ve had more birds than ever before.  I don’t just have a few Orioles this year….  I have a whole flock!

The Ruby Throated Hummingbirds are also here in numbers I haven’t ever seen before!

Check out their aerial flights defending ‘THEIR’ feeder! 😉

I think having more birds actually is attracting other birds to see what everyone else is enjoying as I had synchronized aerial flying Pine Siskins come in for a quick bite before they took flight in  unison once again.

Here’s the male Rose Breasted Grosbeak: Did you know the Grosbeaks also like grape jelly?

And a special visitor–an Indigo Bunting!!! In the sun he is simply stunning!!!

As always, thanks for listening to Thea and have a Great Day!
