The woodpeckers have been here since last year. I think they like my feeders and suet cakes

While sitting out on my backyard patio trying to figure out how some Ninja Squirrels were getting into my bird feeders, I noticed some fluttering between branches near my small pond. As took a closer look I couldn't believe my eyes...WARBLERS!!!! Not quite sure why they paid a visit as I am in the middle of a large metropolitan city...but thankful they did... I only managed to get limited snaps with my camera as I wasn't properly prepared...and spent the next several days attempting to get some some decent shots with these uncooperative little guys...Hopefully Ill have more to come as Ive seen 10 different species so far...

..I think I caught "Warbler Fever"! :>)

Shooting with my new Sony 200-600 Zoom.

While doing some backyard birdwatching the other day, it was just so hot there wasn't much going on, so I decided to close the window and put down my camera.

Moments later this hawk swooped down and got one of my doves. It happened so quickly it took a few moments to register what I'd just seen. While I watched, it started plucking the feathers so I grabbed my camera to get a few shots.

Just goes to show you never know who's going to show up next. Or when.

** Taken through the window so not as clear as I'd like.

For the flowers are great blessings.

For the flowers have their angels, even the words of God’s creation.

For the flower glorifies God and the root parries the adversary.

For there is a language of flowers.

For the flowers are peculiarly the poetry of Christ.

-Christopher Smart (from Benjamin Brittens' 'Rejoice In The Lamb'

This broad-tail hummingbird is enjoying the feeder in my backyard. I'm sitting in a yard chair, waiting to catch it as it comes to and then leave the feeder, just out of the shot. It's been a very wet spring and the trees are very green, creating a great background. I love the translucent wings and the ruby flash of his gorget. I think that means thank you, but he shows it when he's happy or mad.

Happy National Bird Day! 🐦✨

It's interesting all our locals have claimed this community fence to hangout..some sit & call out to there mates, once arrived they both go off to the feeders or into the trees.

This Ruby-throated hummingbird showed up at the feeder in my buddy's backyard. I had my camera with me hoping for an opportunity. The pic of the oriole I just posted showed up just minutes before this hummingbird.

Tin flowers, and a hen.

This guy came into the backyard yesterday. I went out to make sure the deer could find it's way back over the fence. Instead he started following me around. Had to finally make enough noise for him to leave. Then hung out in the green belt, munching away for about 20 minutes. Before he left, I told him to watch out for the local Cougar.

I went on walkabout this morning to check out the various bird houses around our farm yard. All 5 of the houses for the tree swallows are full and this friendly fella greeted me at his door.

Our Fairfax Station backyard at peak color on an unusually warm November morning.

"And the seasons they go round and round

And the painted ponies go up and down

We're captive on the carousel of time

We can't return we can only look behind

From where we came

And go round and round and round

In the circle game."

"Circle Game" by Joni Mitchell

Mr Wattie is watching out for any intruders that may come in to steal food, LOL.
