Backyard Birding : Nº I

Last month, I finally took the plunge and bought a copper bird feeder on line. I wanted something a bit more "rustic" than a plastic feeder from the nearby hardware store. I liked the idea of have something that could get a bit of patina on it over time...I also liked the idea of Hattie and I filling it up with sunflower seeds, peanuts, and cracked corn, then watching from our kitchen window. With that said, here were a few #featheredfriends that stopped by this past weekend I was able to photograph...

First up, a female Northern Cardinal...

A male Northern Cardinal...

Then a few Purple finches seen for the first time this spring...


And the peanuts finally brought some Blue Jays...


Wisconsin birds in the spring...I just wish the light was a bit better, but not a first round of birds to enjoy this spring. Hattie loved it!

Those are some nice shots of the birds. Liked them!

thank you! We joke it's better than screen time for our daughter, lol

Any day better..
