Fur, fin, feathers, and flowers

[Sheryl]

I host birds. I fish. I have taken pictures of flowers. The furry ones are animals who visit my yard and maybe a pet or two.

I'm going to post pictures here as I have time.

I love feeding the garden birds, here is my bird station setup.
I will get a better picture tomorrow as this is an old one.

This is an older picture. A Hummingbird in my backyard at the feeder. They are such fun to watch.

Great spotted woodpecker in the UK.
Lovely birds, I love the drilling they do when in the trees.

indigo bunting Not a very good picture but it was the first one I ever saw at my feeder. I didn't want to waste time focusing. He was only there for a few minutes.

Here is my FUR baby napping in front of the door in the sunshine and then chillin' in one of his trees. Such a spoiled kitty!

* I'm not sure if this belongs in this section or the Animal and Pet section. I'm confused where to post things sometimes.*

Your fur baby is beautiful, @Krystal . Love those eyes.



These are red honeysuckles. I took the picture in the mountains. Our honeysuckles here are white or yellowish white.

This is my furry acrobatic friend.






I know that some people dislike them and call them tree rats. I can see that that would be a problem in towns where there are no predators to keep them in check. I only see one or two at a time. They live in the woods behind my house. Hawks also live there. The hawks and other predators keep the population down.

I enjoy seeing their antics. If a loud sound startles them, they scamper up to a tree limb and flatten themselves down. They are so well camouflaged that you could walk right by them and never see them.

Those are my favorite birds! We see very few. What food items draw them?

I buy Nuts N Berries bird food. I don't know what indigo buntings like best. I've only seen a few of them at my feeder over the years,

Birds from way up north come to Lake Mattamuskeet to spend the winter. They come by the thousands. The tundra swans come from the tundra.
