Birds Around My Yard

I realize that I used to post a lot more birds.Well,here are a few of my recent bird photos.

This Dark-eyed Junco was enjoying his bath time and why not,the water was warm in the heated bird bath and no one else was waiting for a turn.

I looked out one day and saw Waxwings in the maple tree. when I lifted my lens to focus on them,I realized these were Bohemian Waxwings.They come around in fall and spring,so it was a special sighting.

I wish I had been able to get closer,but this was the best I could do. Just in case someone doesn't know,you can tell they are the Bohemian,because of the rusty undertail coverts,or feathers.

I get some of these pictures through the window. The bird bath is on the deck railing.I have the pleasure of having the White-breasted Nuthatches around all year and I am thankful for that.

Another bird I am thankful for is the Blue Jay.I can count on them to brighten most any day.If I provide the peanuts,they will provide me with photo opportunities.

Thought to ponder:
Don't forget to pray today,because God didn't forget to wake you up.
