Feed The Birds...

 and they will come, and come, and come and never leave your yard.

This post is a continuation of my 

Saturday Critter Post

which explains in great detail how I take these pictures.

Knowing my love of birds, the hubs set this all up for me making it pretty easy to capture these images.

And of course, he bought me an awesome camera to take the pictures!

So here we go, what you have all been waiting on...

the better pictures, from January 26th, the day after the snow.

I felt a bit of a connection with this

Song Sparrow

Definitely aware of my presence, this beautiful song bird was not about to fly away.

 It had found the perfect spot to rest, and it was not about to budge.

It was very cooperative with the pictures, making sure I captured every angle.

Another connection I felt was with the... 

Female Cardinal

Another bird that I am sure saw me, 

she did not fly off, instead she hung around for this mini photo shoot.

She looked right at me and conducted herself like a model, her movements ever so slight.

Her hunny, the... 

Male Cardinal

behaved the exact same way.

I had so many cardinals, 

both male and female at the feeders, it is difficult to tell when you are photographing the same bird.
One of the male cardinals was much brighter than the others.

The Carolina Chickadees 

came and went very quickly.

I think these pictures are of a Carolina Chickadee, but the Black Capped Chickadee is very similar.

I see The Carolina Wren year round, they were plentiful during the storm.

I had many more visitors and 100's of pictures.

I will share more in another post.

I think these are the best of the good ones.

I hope everyone is staying home, staying safe and warm and are as "happy as a lark".

Happy as a lark means you are "cheerful and lively like the bird".

Fitting right?
