gobble gobble!

What a gloomy weekend it was. Blah. I got a lot done but it would have been nicer if there had been sunshine coming in the windows.

Last week I put some leftover pecan pieces (from a cheesball I made) out in the bird feeder. Apparently wood peckers really like nuts. And they want to tell all their peers where the nuts are. We have a whole new variety of birds at our feeder now.  It's really cool.
We have Downy Woodpeckers; (by the way, I didn't take any of these pictures)

And a Red Bellied Woodpecker;
a Nuthatch
these cute little chirpers, called a tufted titmouse
the state bird of course;

These little wrens, which end up in our sun room all the time;

blue jays;

and my favorite little winter bird, chickadees!

Plus, all the sparrows and doves. Bill and I, separately have even seen a hawk sitting on the back fence. Picking off the squirrels I hope! Maybe I'll become a bird watcher when I retire :-)
