Saturday Critters ~ 310 ~

The backyard feeders have been all abuzz with bird activity...
this Tufted Titmouse is an endearing little bird that I see primarily during the winter months.

The berries in the cedar tree have been attracting a lot of birds as well.


At times, there are as many as 10 or more American Robins in this tree,
dining on the berries.



This tree is the favorite "hangover" spot for all of the birds,
as they wait for their turn at the feeders.
This male Downy Woodpecker is waiting for his turn at the suet.
They rarely chase other birds away.

I love seeing that little Downy up close. It's one of my favs to see and hard to get a good photo of. The Robins made it to FL yesterday! We had 100s of them in the backyard and on the golf course. It is official winter when we see them! 70s today....they like the warmer winters! heehee! Love your photos of the small birds. They are delightful!

I'm still seeing some small flocks of Robins here who are probably making their way south from further up north!

Beautiful photos! You have very nice backdrops. The Titmice have been much more prevalent since the cold weather arrived.

Such great photos as always ...the tufted titmouse is perfect ..endearing is the perfect word! We’ve had the most robins I’ve ever seen at once here the last couple of days. Guess it’s a good stopover on their migration.
