Extended Family

We have increasingly more birds visiting our feeders, so we had to make a run to "the country store" to get feed. Now we are looking for a year round birdbath that I can rig to run on solar power.

The Rose-breasted Grosbeak male and female made their first appearance this morning. Three Dark-eyed Juncos are still here, but the bulk of the flock has since moved North. One Pine Siskin appears to be "with eggs". The poor little one can hardly preen as she is so round. We now are just missing the Ruby-throuted Hummingbirds. The should be here in a few weeks -- it is still too chilly for them.
