Saturday Critters ~ 259 ~

It's been cold, cloudy and windy here on the home front...
the wind makes it almost impossible to get good pictures of my little birds.
When I open the window, I am able to stand on the heat vent...which is very nice.
The hubs went outside and cut a lot of the very small branches off the tree, that was helpful.
Most of the leaves are gone from the trees, also very helpful...but this wind is killing me.

- oh the wind - 
the birds look like they are sitting on a boardwalk ride.
Up and down, up and down, I watch and wonder if they enjoy that.

 I was able to get a few pictures in...
Male House Finch

Female House Finch

Chickadee

Male Downy Woodpecker

Blue Jay

Carolina Wren

I am seeing the Red Breasted Nuthatches and the Junco's have returned.
I have not been able to get any pictures of them yet, but I am trying.

    They are all so gorgeous aren't they? In this set I think I like the male house finch the best tho, something about him! I just don't see how the little birds SURVIVE out in the cold and the rain and the wind and sleet and snow and all---but somehow they do! They seem so delicate, but they must be stronger than they appear as they were created to live and grow out there I guess! Hope y'all have a great weekend!

    Hello, Debbie. We had a few of those cold windy days this week. I feel sorry for the birds, they do look like they are hanging in there. Lovely series of birds and photos. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your day and weekend.

    The male House Finch is a good looking bird, but I really like the Downy Woodpecker.
