Frosted Friends

I had no idea that Nuthatches liked the peanuts. Today is Mosaic Monday. Please check out the other Mosaic Mondays here, thanks to Mary at Little Red house.

Northern Flicker

I am just starting to learn about birds and this is the first time I have seen this bird. I believe it is a Northern Flicker. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Today is my first day joining Camera Critters. Please check out the other participants here.

Today is Fertilizer Fridays/Flaunt Your Flowers by our host Tootsie Time. I love her blog. You can check it out here. Because I am in zone 4 my flower beds are under a quilt of snow.

We have been experiencing hoar frost or radiation frost. It has been very beautiful. To learn more about this check it out here.

kitchen is done. We had taken everything out and started from scratch. My husband and I did a lot of the work. We started in April and finished in November.

Our family room is now completed. Just a few more rooms to go. Please check out the other Pink Saturday posts here.

White-breasted Nuthatch

Today is Outdoor Wednesday. Please check out the others thanks to Susan at a Southern Daydreamer.

I believe all of these photos are of White-breasted Nuthatches.

This one is more gray. Is it a female?

Dark-eyed Junco

My flower beds are under a quilt of snow, so I am learning about birds. I believe this is a male dark-eyed junco. Please correct me if I am wrong.

With this new interest of mine comes a few problems. 1st one is these beautiful birds are hard to photograph, because it is dark when I leave for work and dark when I get home. 2nd problem is these cold temps. I received a heated birdbath for Christmas and it has been freezing up solid.

I welcome all comments as I take on this journey of learning about birds. I am very excited to study about them.
