This is my first entry in almost a year over at Plus PSP (I’ve been very busy around the house!) and was surprised and pleased to win this challenge. I saw bunny ears in the challenge object so I went for it! Thanks for your votes, everyone!

I love all the birds that come to my feeders, but the Downy Woodpeckers are probably my favorite. Would love to hold one….

And here they are! I saw an occasional one or two at the safflower feeder this past summer but now that the suet feeders are up and full, they are coming in droves and staying longer. Sweet, sweet birds!

Since I got my bird book this summer, I’ve been looking for these little guys. They showed up a few weeks ago and this picture was taken before our big snowstorm and blizzard that happened last week. I noticed they weren’t using the feeders and they prefer thistle so I’ve been scattering it on the ground for them. Sweet birdies….

From our home to yours, Merry Christmas!

I made a short video of our home at Christmas time. I don’t do much outside but I do fill up the inside. I have been seriously collecting decorations for about 20 years and yes, I use just about everything that I have. I didn’t show everything in the video though, as I wanted to time it perfectly with the music. In fact, I cut some stills out so the video would end with the music. I have a whole year to get better at this (this is my first!) Enjoy!

came to visit today. There were lots more of the birds in the other trees and on the ground under the feeders. Of course, those pictures didn’t turn out. Oh, well….
