Saturday Critters ~ 263 ~

I have not seen Mr. Hawk in the yarn and I have also "not" seen any more piles of bird feathers.
Slowly, my little song birds are returning!!

Lovely images. There is one school of thought that postulates that by feeding songbirds we permit weak birds that otherwise would not survive to make it and they fall easy prey to raptors, with the logical conclusion that we are in effect feeding raptors. And I have no problem with that!

I forgot to mention, the bird you describe as a Yellow-rumped Warbler above is a Ruby-crowned Kinglet.

Absolutely beautiful pictures of the birds. I miss our birds too...a hawk has taken to roosting in the pines. He's pretty but he isn't singing. Blessings, xoxo, Susie

I cannot believe the different kinds of birds you have in your yard! They are just beautiful shots each and everyone of them. I think the hawks have moved in for good. Three of them of different varieties. I notice they are very nosy. Have a lovely day

so glad to hear it, we had more visitors to our suet today, but I did see a hawk flying around yesterday. The kinglet is so pretty, I don't think we have them here, at least not at my feeders. So good to see your bird pictures again :)
Hope your enjoying a nice weekend!
