A little fun with Picnik

Imaginary Wings…

The real thing with wings…

Orange Wings with black spots

Yellow and black wings on my Lilac bush I planted …

smells wonderful! The Lilac not the wings…

Black and white wings…..

Wings that live in the moon…

I hear little chickies in there!

Black wings that eat too much seed and hog the feeders…

I do love the sounds they make..and they are rather cute piglets~ahem~that don’t raise their own young…Humm..

 

Brown spotted wings~ This one ate a few red birds at my feeders recently..…please eat the black winged birds up there^^ ^^instead!Blue wings that jump for joy when they have a bug to eat..…

They seem to know proper trail etiquette…

And…that’s all folks

Busy Birds

Howdee all,

The birds are busy with home making in Sickstas yard..

The resident Bluebirds have chosen the same nest box for the third year in a row.There is plenty of food hanging around for them…This resident Chickadee found some for himself..

Did you know Chickadees live in the moon?

Well they do…at least a pair of them do:)And the moon…Is Happier for it…A Brown-headed nuthatch checks out this old house…Wonder if he will entice a lady to this shanty?The Downy woodpeckers love Bark Butter…and leave the suet aloneMy feeders are happy with birds…

Can you see the happy face?We have had scads of Pine Siskin and American Goldfinch

A Ruby-throated hummingbird has been at my feeder, but prefers the tasty garden flowers.

The birds are returning~

I am eagerly awaiting the Blue and Rose breasted Grosbeaks, Indigo Buntings and any other bird that wants to come to Sickstas Garden…

Life is Birdie Good

It was snowy last week…

Howdee all,

So this was last week here in North Carolina…

Snow…just a few inches…

The birds were in an eating frenzy at the feeders..

A day or so after the snow we had freezing rain overnight..

Leaving everything glistening…

Ice everywhere..It was a beautiful..slippery scene..I loved how everything was sparkly…Shining in the sun…Ice weighing down branches…Today..you would never know this happened…The ice melted a few days ago…The last remnants of snow are gone…Rain tonight….No more icy jewels to be found..

Glad I captured this one…

Hope you are all staying warm…My Mother says they will be getting more snow in Connecticut.  Its warming here in North Carolina…50s tomorrow.

We leave here in two days…Going south…Florida is our destination.

First stop Merritt Island and the Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival

…

Anyone else going?
