Since Mother Nature decided to give us a wintry blast this past week backyard activity at the feeders picked up considerably. And since it was too confounded cold to let the grandchildren have an egg hunt in the backyard I decided to make this a day to record any and all bird (or other animal) sightings strictly in the back feeder area. It started out sunny and bright but got very cloudy as the day progressed. Some of the photos turned out fair while others leave much to be desired. I didn't get a photo of some of the usual visitors, like the House Sparrows or the Brown-headed Cowbirds, but there were a few of them today also. I missed a shot of the male Cardinal, but did get one of the female. I did get a shot of the resident Robin actually feeding on the suet....a first for me...I had heard they would eat suet, just never saw it before today. The Dogwood tree is beautiful and seems to be faring nicely in the 20 degree weather. Anyhoo....here are some of the nice little creatures that visited today...we even got a visit from the Easter bunny.......thanks for looking in........ ~Kathy~ The Dogwood in bloom The Easter Bunny (enjoying some apple) The Easter Bunny again (looking grumpy) Little seed stealin' Squirrel Robin having some suet And having some more suet Waxwing eating blossoms from the Crabapple tree Another Waxwing My buddy the Mockingbird A nice little Carolina Wren The ever present Common Grackle The female Downy Woodpecker Northern Cardinal in Dogwood American Goldfinch Blue Jay Female Hairy Woodpecker
