Front Garden Birds

I love the picture of this robin the best, somehow it looks like the gnome has something to say to it. If I ever think of a clever caption for it I may use it on a greeting card.

There must be something shiny about the camera lens hidden inside the feeder because the birds seem very interested in it.

On the other hand, this bird couldn't care less so I'm left to wonder what's really going on.

There have also been doves, goldfinches and cardinals but there are no pictures of them because they seem to favor the other feeders and those don't have cameras in them.

The main thing for us is the enjoyment we get from watching and listening to them chatter and sing in the garden.

It can drown out the traffic at times to the point that you can almost forget you're in the middle of a city.

Birds, close up

There is a small camera built into a small bird feeder in our front yard. When the squirrel doesn't mess with it we do get some pretty interesting close up photos of the birds who visit us here.

They sure speak up when the feeder needs filling.

They are beginning to look like they've got some personality too.

We haven't seen any goldfinches, wrens or black capped chickadees lately, they may have moved on for the season but we sure enjoyed them while they were here. (especially the two batches of wren babies on the arbor and wheelchair ramp).
