Pussy Willow

White-throated sparrow

Quick snapped a photo of this bird under the feeder. Either it was moving to fast or I was as he is a little blurred!! The markings on this bird are really striking.

Reminiscing today

Happy Anniversary Mark & Nicole

Buzzard Meeting

This morning there were four turkey vultures out on the hill in the corn field. When I got home from church they were gone. Maybe they were gathering to praise the Great Creator.

Early morning visitors

This morning when I opened the front door to greet the morning, these two wood ducks were sitting in the tree. They spent the morning flying from tree to tree in our yard singing their melodies to each other.

Love those Jays!

First bluebirds this spring

After many days of waiting and watching today I finally

saw a male and female bluebird checking out the houses! Yea!

Mallards

This afternoon a pair of mallard ducks glided into the backyard pond. Back and forth they swam with their heads bobbing in and out of the water. Then as gently as they glided in they lifted off and flew away.
