Birds you've seen today

No Ruth, they don't have any close enough and I don't like to drive alone in snowy weather the 160 odd miles to get to the nearest one so I do my own little patch alone.

I've got nine American Robins on my water station at the moment.

Sadly all the little brids are sitting close by hoping for a look in. With this cold, cold weather water is as important as food.

They probably could use one of those suet bird feeders if it's that cold, Sue.

Did you have to thaw the water for them?

I've got four water stations around the garden but the one on my deck is heated. I think that's why they are all on the one station.

some of those names have a totally different meaning over here Andy !!!! LOL

Good Luck with the lot of them !!

They have the same meaning in England too Mick, but a good birder ignores them.

We have a vast amount of snow (for us) outside, so I am going to try and squeeze my foot into a welly and get water out again today. Maybe I'll set my camera on it's tripod by the window, could get some good shots,

It's been bird city in my back yard the last couple days.  I just spent a lovely morning outside reading and enjoying the bird life.  As I type this there are 3 little Inca doves on the skylight above my desk.  Here's the list of what's been in my yard or on my patio the last 2 days.

Collared doves (my bird and his little mate :-), mourning doves, Inca doves, black-chinned sparrows, house finch, Abert's towhee, peach-faced lovebirds, Northern mockingbirds, Great-tailed grackles, American kestrel, Gila woodpecker, curve-billed thrasher and Anna's hummingbirds.

I think the birds are loving the cooler weather.

on monday i found load's of feather's on my lawn -due to an attack on the dove's--still plenty of magpie's and crow's
