Another one, for the birds

Took this one this morning. Click it to enlarge. They are such lovely birds. I promise this is the last one unless something really unsual happens along! :) *click the pic

Ornithology, our new hobby (and one of Michie's classes)

Michelle's feeder is a success as you can see. What you can't, completely see is the Finch sock hanging on the other hook of the thingy on which the bird feeder is hanging. We've had sparrows, jays, grackles, mourning doves, house finches, goldfinches and purple finches. I think Doug, the Emerald Ash Borer threatened Pumpkin Ash Tree is enjoying the company. And yes... those are shiny Easter Eggs hanging in his branches! Oh and a pink flamingo, (courtesy of Susan and Bob, {next door, not husband,} standing guard under Doug.
