Saturday Critters ~ 236 ~

I needed pictures for today's Critter Post,

I only share "new" pictures here on my blog.

Often when I am taking pictures I think, why do I bother?

I already have some pretty good pictures of whatever bird I am photographing,

but I still do it, because I enjoy their company.

There is a certain amount of pleasure I derive from holding the camera in my hands,

watching the birds movements and listening to their song.

I never use a tripod.

For me, it is as much about the birds as it is about taking their picture.

Friday, I put out some sunflower seeds, fruit and jelly, I opened the window

and shared some special moments with my feathered friends.

Looking quite disappointed with my spread - he prefers peanuts but I'm out!

Mourning Dove

I have better pictures of the Gray Catbird but I liked this one of him enjoying the jelly.
I always think of my good friend Theresa in Texas when I see them, 
Hi T,
I miss you!

And Junior here just can't stay out of the action,

if you look closely, you can see some jelly in his tail feathers!
