Lucky! I wish we had blue birds here other than jays.

My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already!
First thing this morning I saw a downey woodpecker on the feeder outside my kitchen window. It was a lovely way to start the day. We had snow the past few days and sure needed a pick me up!
Loved your pictures!

Te NorthernParula is beautiful!
Downey woodpeckers are cool. Sometimes we see a Hairy woodpecker......which looks just like a Downey, only bigger.
Here's an interesting bird we saw out our window this morning. A turkey! I've seen this on one other occasion last year. It's sort of almost like an apparition.

I asked a vitner what creature was the worst for destroying grapes in Hermann, and he said wild turkeys are the worst. Later confirmed by another grape grower.
Thanks for persevering and getting those pictures uploaded, Cathy!
We had a flock of turkeys strolling down our street about a week ago. Two were males with their tails fanned out, quite an impressive sight!
We regularly walk the nearby rail trail which goes through a salt marsh. There are a pair of ospreys nesting (they return every year), many egrets and many great blue herons. We also see a regular pair of black-crowned night herons.
Someone mentioned bluebirds above. My mom always gets a lot of them in the winter. Dad leaves a pan of water on top of the outdoor wood furnace. They flock to the warm water.
This was from a couple winters ago.

Float On: My "Happy Place" is on my little kayak in the coves of Table Rock Lake.
The bluebirds here show up some years, then not as much another year. One year, I had a nest of them in a box I put up, but something got them.I had a coon baffle on the pole, so it must have been something like wrens or sparrows, who can get pretty mean.
Float on........your pic looks like one I got a couple years ago. I have one somewhere of about 6 bluebirds around the birdbath, but I can only find this one.

Great pictures; we have never had bluebirds around our place.
Beautiful photos - thanks!
