Bird sanctuary in the backyard

Good Thursday evening, there's a slight breeze felt coming in from the open window as I type this post. It's been a busy day and I wonder how I get anything done looking out the window at the birds that have made my backyard their sanctuary. The chirps in the evening are just as beautiful as morning.

The 6 o'clock hour has approached and it seems to be feeding time. The mourning doves, wrens, cardinals,  chickadees, and yes those black crows are are all flying in to feast on seeds in the feeder and tossed in the yard. Plus, day old bread from the local bread store is there. The buy-one-get-one-free deals are a saver. The birds know just where to peck to find the goods.

Birds are a beautiful part of nature and I marvel at the varieties that visit my backyard each day without fail. I see bird feeders when driving around hanging on the trees or hook at someone's house. I'm glad they found my backyard and made it their own sanctuary.

Cute Chickadees


chickadee There has been some new birds visiting the bird feeder in my backyard and I've been trying to figure out the variety. I finally got a few minutes to do some searching and found that they are Chickadees. There is a small group of them who wait their turn when another is feeding, so polite. I like the black color on top of their heads and the ones in my backyard look young. I hope these cute chickadees stick around and enjoy nibbling at the feeder, it's all for you to share!
