some bird photos with the new "feeder mixure" they sure love raisins and nuts!

I trimmed a few small branches from the trees where I hang

the feeders, so the photos would be less cluttered and the 

birds more easily seen...

they wept....

I found the titmouse sipping water from the 

tree wound...

waiting for the next drip

then of course there is always 

a stick em up hold up for the bestest peanut

and what's a feeder without the cardinal 

attitude...

"who said you could take my picture?"

and the turkey vultures overhead...

7 of them circling and circling...

around and around the house, day and evening...

creepy? yes

I call our town "the new chicago" it's so

windy here anymore...

even the birds don't look quite the same.

wind swept tufted titmouse awaiting his turn 

to get the peanuts.

AND A GUST of wind, near blew him away...

but those toes hung on tight...

alfalfa nuthatch got his nut...

and he is so proud...

chickadee patiently waits for the wind

to slow down so he can fly to the feeder

and not crash land...

grackle long necks a peak at the feeder too, 

hoping there will be some left when 

the stupid human leaves...
