Kinda Seedy

Here for the yummy seeds

Feeding the squirrels birds is part of the joy of winter. Okay, I admit that I don't mind feeding the squirrels too, as long as they stay on the ground and off the feeders.

Largest square: male cardinal. Working clockwise:  blue jay, black-capped chickadee, white-throated sparrow, tree sparrow and red squirrel
I am Linking to Mosaic Monday HERE  and
Sunlit Sunday Here.

  10. I put stale bread out for the birds but the squirrels always seem to get to it first. But they are cute too, especially the fat grey one with the white fluffy ears .... he visits almost every day. Great pictures!
    BTW Sandra, it was The LONELY Little Petunia in an Onion Patch, not ONLY.... I know cos I was one of the onions in a dance routine when I was 5!!!!!!! :-)

  13. Everyone is hungry with the cold weather upon us. I put out the buffet this morning: lots of sparrows, a blue jay, Ma and Pa Cardinal, a few doves and 4 squirrels. The squirrels almost knock on the back door. Lovely collage. Stay warm and Happy New Year!

  16. This collage beautifully shows that winter is not just about white snow. You photograph birds so well; their colours and details are clear and gorgeous. Of course, a fluffy-tailed squirrel is bound to be nearby; everyone needs a good meal!

    Thank you for linking your "feathery" collage to Sunlit Sunday.

  20. Hi - visiting from My Little Home and Garden...I love your photos! I feed the birds here too in my yard (LaSalle, Ontario) - My favourites are the cardinals...but those darn squirrels are in my feeders more than the birds most days!

    Keep Warm!

  21. With the exception of the snow, these photos could just as easily have been taken here in East Texas. I saw these same birds this morning at our feeders, in addition to tufted titmouse, goldfinch, and Inca doves.

  22. Seedy yes, but at least sunny. Always nice to see another who faithfully feeds the birds.

  23. You do such great critter pics! I kinda like squirrels even though they can be a nuisance. We never did figure out how to keep them out of the bird feeder at our old house. I guess they were just smarter than we are!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Love your captures. I feed the birds, year round, too.

    ReplyDelete
  25. A beautiful set of birds... and one devious rascal!

  26. we get all of those birds as well. I love to watch them at the feeders.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Beautiful! I admit,I have a love/hate relationship with the squirrels.I think they are kind of cute,but I do not want them at my feeders.

    ReplyDelete
  28. the birds are feasting on all the seedy patches under the feeder today ... lovely photos

  29. Gorgeous pics of some of my favourite flying wonders! Love those cutie patootie, black capped chicadees, scarlet red cardinals and of course, 'Toronto's' beautiful blue jays!

  32. These critters hang at my feeder too.

  33. Your photos, always great, really pop today.

    Our squirrels go where they please to get seeds. Our dogs do a good job of keeping them off the ground.

  34. ...a super collage (what programme do you edit/create those in I wonder?)

    ReplyDelete
  35. You got some great shots - thanks for sharing them. Squirrels are so bad here, I don't even try to feed the birds right now.
    Thanks for stopping by. I am looking forward to an early Spring also. Last I heard we are suppose to drop down to 9 tonight. :(

  40. Lovely photos - like you I can never make up my mind whether I like to see squirrels or not.

  41. I miss all the colorful N. American birds!!! All we seem to get here are pigeons and crows. And the crows are gray instead of black.
    The one advantage is we have red squirrels. They are even almost cute (as long as they're not ravishing the garden). :)

  45. Sweet collection of my favorite birds. We have the Carolina chickadee instead of the black-capped chickadee, though.

  49. I love your bird feeding mosaic.
    I appreciate anyone who feeds our feathered friends in the cold of winter - they depend on our care to survive - bless you,
    I'm visiting from both Mosaic Monday and Sunlit Sunday.

  52. Great pictures.. coming over from Sunlit Sunday.

  53. Lovely capture of the birds. We saw a few at Lynde Creek and the swans flying at the harbour this week. They don't seem as bothered by the cold as I do!

    ReplyDelete
  54. Yes, you know I feed the squirrels too... I bet you saved some lives this week.... Michelle

  55. Great bird photos, I'm partial to the Cardinals which we don't have here. We also have squirrels coming to eat the sunflower seeds, I'm afraid they load up and don't leave as much for the birds.
