Morning everyone!

WOW! That's just a first class hummingbird pic! I need to quit trying to use the digital and break out the old Cannon!

Kinds cool here today. If your hubby's in Dallas today, GodBlessUSA, he's gotta be loving the weather! :)

Thought I saw a Goldfinch, but it's head wasn't yellow. I believe it may be a Magnolia Warbler, but I'm trying to get a better look.

Ma and Pa Woodpecker have been regular visitors since I upgraded the seed mixture, and all the advice about the Woodpecker block was right on target!

I moved the block yesterday, because the birds prefer the 'loose' food.

A squirrel found it this morning and started whittling away to the point I decided to move it OUT of their reach again!

I took the camera with me (for once...LOL!) and got pretty close before he scampered back up the tree.

Now I need an opinion...is it just me, or does this goober look like he's SMILING?

Your squirrel does look like he's smiling!

Yesterday, I stopped and bought meal worms for the bluebirds in the nestbox on the arbor. But I got just as many flycatchers interested in the worm bowl :-) as I did bluebirds.

LOL! Yep, your squirrel is smiling at you!

Poor hubby has been working around the clock, I wonder if he has seen the light of day this time. I hope he can get out and about tomorrow sometime to enjoy the weather!

I saw a Magnolia Warbler here last year. Beautiful bird. I have some type of Warbler hanging around but I haven't figured out who it is yet.

More like smirking.

I saw this all-blue bird today. It is eating from one of the feeders. It is smaller than the one I saw before that I thought was an Indigo Bunting. This one is bluer,too. In full light, it a very rich blue, but it blends into the shadows. Pretty little thing. The only other thing I could find that remotely resembles it is the Blue Grossbeak, but I don't think it has that kind of beak, and it doesn't have the rusty brown color on its wings, just a little black.
