Feed The Birds...

I have been busy playing with the birds these days...
they are so active right now, I need to fill the feeders twice per day.
It is getting harder for them to find food and fresh water as winter approaches,
keeping up with that is more important than ever.

As I stand by my office window taking their picture, I often wonder why.
I have 15,000 plus pictures saved on my computer, most of birds.
Do I really need another picture of a Cardinal or Goldfinch?
Probably not... 
and yet there I stand with an obsession of sorts,
it could be for the picture but more likely just to spend time with them.





I think it is their freedom I admire most, flight without fear.

You must not have many hawks, owls, or hungry squirrels...

Well I love your bird pictures. I was standing and watching the Flickers yesterday in the yard and I really wished I could capture what I was seeing. So pretty Debbie.

There is something special about birds. They all have their own unique colouring and character. It's lovely to spend time watching them, and I love seeing your photographs.

All the best Jan

Of course you need another photo. It is most probably a different bird in a different pose. LOL

I for one will never tire of photos of your pretty birds, Debbie. Each bird is a miracle of nature BUT it is always the background where you create magic....how do you do it!! =)

Just keep on taking those pictures and sharing them. I have on occasion said I would stop taking pictures of a certain bird, but that usually didn't last very long.Who knows? That next shot might just be the PERFECT one.😊
