A Popular Bathing Spot

…and other things in our bird feeding area.

 

 

This time it’s a catbird taking a bath.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Isn’t that an interesting way to bathe?

 

 

 

 

 

 

One more time.

 

 

I’m finished now.

 

 

 

I moved the hummingbird feeder away from the window to the shade of the dogwood tree because I felt the sun was too hot for the sugar water. The hummingbirds seem to appreciate that.

 

 

Because the squirrels and big birds frequent this box, I often use this as a place to empty feeders that the birds didn’t bother with. Squirrels and blue jays don’t seem to mind if the seed is a bit stale.

 

 

My cats and kittens (or hens and chicks) have three big shoots that will bloom this year – meaning that particular plant will die when it is finished blooming.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think we have several pairs of cardinals because I see so many – but they almost always come one at a time. Sometimes I see a male and female together.

 

 

The pretty eastern bluebirds frequent the area as well, but they prefer worms so do not come to the feeders.

I could sit and watch our bird feeding area all day long.
