I have not been spending much time at the windows lately,
I need to change that.
Here are a few common birds I have been seeing at the feeders lately.
Each bird is unique in many respects,
but perhaps their most visible characteristic is the layer of feathers that covers their bodies.
These serve a variety of functions in the day-to-day lives of birds,
and feathers on different parts of the body have evolved for a range of purposes.
Look specifically at the feather patterns and just how gorgeous they are...
they do not "need" bright colors!

The clarity in your photos is perfect! Especially love the bunny! Easter is coming...
ReplyDeleteDear Debbie!
ReplyDeleteIt is a great pleasure to see such wonderful photos. All the birds and the rabbit are lovely.
Hugs and greetings:)
Oh yes ... happiness lies in appreciating the little miracles in life. Like the fact that feathers the birds need to survive come in gorgeous patterns and unique colors. And that sunset! Beauty everywhere in your life!
ReplyDeleteDebbie these are fabulous photographs, such a joy to see the birds and the sweet bunny.
ReplyDeleteThe sky in your last photograph is amazing, wonderful colour.
Many thanks for your recent comments on the low carb diabetic, I was pleased to read you have had your first vaccination.
Take care
All the best Jan
Great pictures Debbie!
ReplyDeleteSo much beauty, both in the birds and animals as well as in the sky. Does that bunny have a piece of his ear missing?
ReplyDeletehi ruth...it looks that way, and that's what i thought, but the bunnies ear is curled over. this bunny has been here for a while!!
DeleteWhat lovely bird images!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful birds! The sky colors are awesome! Spring must be close because the grackles and red-winged blackbirds are back.
ReplyDeleteI agree that it is amazing the markings on the feathers of so many different birds, such marvels God has blessed us with to enjoy each and every day if we just take the time to see them and he has given you a beautiful gift of capturing them in photos for us all to enjoy!! Just wait until that bunny wants to eat your goodies that you plant this summer :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoy the beauty around me, but always your photos bring joy. Those birds are stunning and I love looking at the colors and relating to the difference between male and female; which always fascinates me. You are amazing!
ReplyDeleteSending loving thoughts your way!
