Thanks for your comments. Glad you enjoyed...Linda, <br />Thanks for your comments. Glad you enjoyed this issue. We've been feeding the birds for several years now, and what helps is that we have a lot of trees and shrubs for them to find protection in the winter. The hummingbirds are really a lot of fun to watch, too. I think it would be great if you would try painting some birds. And Ted is thinking of doing his own blog on hiking and waterfalls!

I know how attached we got to "our" hummingbirds in the summer. The photos are great and it makes me want to try a watercolor. Mark also enjoys the garden blog. Best to your photographer ..he needs to do his own calendar!!!

That's a coincidence that you saw your first flicker. <br />The snow buntings are the only flock of small, white-colored birds that you will see around here in winter, and that's a rare sighting. I usually see them on country roads or open fields. I think they are foraging for seeds. At one time I remember reading an article that they ate "snow lice".

Great news on the new apples too. I think NYS has the best apples. Those are fighting words too. Ha ha.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
