White-breasted Nuthatch

One of my favorite birds to watch. Please check out the Outdoor Wednesday posts here. Thanks to Susan at a Southern Daydreamer.

Mr. Naughty Part 2

Mr. Naughty has been up to some new tricks. He is now able to steal the whole suet and run with it. He lifts the lid and pulls the suet out. I don't have a photo of that, because I was too busy getting the suet back from him.

Cardinals

This beautiful lady is back. She has been at the feeder every day this week. I just love her. Today is Mosaic Monday. Please check out the others here. Thanks to Mary, at Little Red House.

New bird at my house

Could you please help me identify this bird? The photo quality is not very clear, because I took them through my dirty windows. I haven't seen this bird before. What is it?

Dinner for Two

Valentine's Day dinner for two. Please check out other Pink Saturday posts. Thanks to Beverly at How Sweet the Sound.

Cardinal

Can you see he has a seed in his beak?

I'm so excited that the female cardinal is back. She doesn't come to the feeder as much as the male cardinal. I am so happy to see both of them.

Red-bellied Woodpecker

This is the first time I had seen this Red-bellied Woodpecker. With all the snow we have been having, the red really showed up. To learn more about this bird click here.

Let's be friends... On second thought.....

Mr. Naughty

You just have to love him. My neighbor feeds the squirrels, so he has plenty to eat there. Yesterday was the first day he found our bird feeders. Before that, he just watched from the tree. He was so funny trying to get in there. We put the "birds only" sign up on the feeder, so hopefully he will stay at the neighbors.

We are continuing to have bad weather here. Most of the schools are closed in our area and the snow is several feet deep. I will post more photos of the snow this week.

Today is Mosaic Monday. Please check out the others here. Thanks to Mary at Little Red house.

Rabbits

I'm not a big fan of rabbits either. I know that that they are cute and all, but they do a number to my flowerbeds. I just have too many. They love to eat my beautiful flowers, just when they start to look nice.

...but Easter is coming and I just finished a wool table runner. I just love this designer and I have done a few of her beautiful designs. This design is from Brandywine Designs. It is from the book "Bless the Beasts and the Children" and the pattern is called Rabbit Chase Penny Runner. You can check out more of her patterns here.

Gray Squirrel

This little guy was hiding in my back yard yesterday. I have a love/hate relationship with them. I love to watch hang in the trees and jump from branch to branch. But, I was not very happy with them last fall when they dug up my flower bulbs.



Fun fact about gray squirrels. They can hide 25 nuts in a half an hour and later find roughly 80 percent of those it buried. Hunters will sometimes trick a gray squirrel into showing itself by clicking two quarters together, which makes a squirrel-like sound. Please check other fact on gray squirrels from the Minnesota DNR here.

Today is also Outdoor Wednesday. Thanks to our host Susan at a Southern Daydreamer. Please check out the others here.
