Eastern Blue Birds

This is my grandmother's favorite bird, they really are beautiful.  She and I share the same passion for animals.  
The birds sure do enjoy the holly berries in our backyard and I enjoy watching the entire bush shake when all of a sudden it's as if they just found this buffet.  lol  Some days there's only a couple of Wrens out back and other days it's a like a festival of birds, which we very much enjoy.  
The very first bird I helped rescue was a baby Mocking bird.  I was about seven and dad and I raised him or her until it was ready to be on it's own and flew away.  Do you have a favorite bird? It's a challenge for me to choose only one but, Cardinals have always caught my eye. :)

First Day of March Is Beautiful

A heart in love with beauty never grows old.

More Backyard Treasures

The beautiful cardinal is a vibrant red.  He’s known for the crest upon his head.
His heavy bill is surrounded by black.  Bugs, fruit, and seeds are a favorite snack.
A backyard favorite, high he rates.  He’s the state bird of seven states.

I really should clean my windows. :)

This is hanging directly in front of my garden window in my kitchen.
Her tail is almost touching the dirty window...THH!

 

Two Sweet Surprises

My first sweet surprise was in the mail today.  I received two pretty flowers from Sandie, aka Chatty Crone, and one is a ring...so pretty and fun!  Sandie had a six day giveaway and on the last day she decided everyone was a winner!  So, Sandie decided to mail out a gift to everyone...wow what a big heart she has!  Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness Sandie!
My second sweet surprise was when I heard the chirping of
my cardinal family...they came back.  I was starting to get a little worried about them.  They're so pretty to listen to and to look at. 




Love my bling!




She's so pretty.




He's handsome and he knows it.



Looking through my garden window

Every morning I go into my kitchen for coffee and look through my garden window to see MaMa squirrel  with her babies near by and a pair of Cardinals, that were skittish for the longest time and soon to follow some Doves, Sparrows and Blue Jays.  I have a Humming bird feeder, but I've only seen one Humming bird so far...it was so tiny and beautiful!
