We also had a visit again this year from the Pileated Woodpecker but Mommy didn't have her camera with her. They are living in the woods far back in our yard. When they peck at a tree, it sounds like a construction zone.
Mommy is thrilled to see the Baltimore Oriole has also returned to our yard. Such a beautiful and colorful bird to see. We're hoping he sticks around, has a mate with him and just maybe we'll see babies like we did last year.
Kudos to Mommy & Daddy for attracting and feeding such a diverse group of birds!
Gotta go now and get back to snuggling under the blankie with my cousin (and bestest playmate) Freeda. Muffin and I got a new doggie bed yesterday and it is huge! Freeda and I gotta break it in.
Hope you have a great weekend!
Hugs,
Lily Belle

Hey Nola,
ReplyDeleteI'll be waiting at the airport for ya! We're gonna have a great time hunting together.
Lots of babies to look at. We have some showing up already too. We need to get together for garden tours of each other's places. I would love to see your garden. We put up feeders for the hummingbirds as well as the plants. That way if we neglect the feeders there is always something for them to feed on.

P.S. I'll pass on the message to Grill Master Chuck for Lily

I love all the birds in your backyard of paradise! Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the new bed.
ReplyDeleteKudos is right! Your backyard looks like a haven. I'd have to chase the chipmunk, though.

Aww your birdies are awfully pretty!! If you read my yesterday post you'll see what happened when Mom tried to hang a new feeder on a limb that was too weak. The Birds had a great time... :D We love hearing them, and usually don't even bother them unless a big old squirrel tries to take off with food.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by after Frankie's post about us. We've followed you for a while through Google Reader and Google Friend connect, but we didn't post any comments. I know, its important to post comments, but -sigh- its hard to just come out and say "HI" sometimes, you know??
Hope your weekend was great.

Mom pretends she knows what she is doing... but she's about as dumb as a box of rocks at times. Unless she planned it... yes.. she might have planned it so it would fall and all that birdseed would just scatter so she'd have something to post about... Nah, she ain't that smart either. :D

Wow, love the Cardinal photo, very pretty. we also had 3 baby robins in our back yard. they left the nest couple days ago. Oscar found one of them in the afternoon and i had to go rescue the baby from Oscar & rescue Oscar from the mad robin parents. LOL
