I just can't get over how you got that Chickadee to eat out of your hand. We have many birds that feed from our feeders in our backyard but I've never been lucky enough to have one land on my hand to eat!! The shot of the squirrel with all those pinecones is amazing!

Heights and I do not get along, yet I love to watch them. <BR/><BR/>I enjoyed today's post. You always get such great shots of the birds. One of my favorite birds is the saucy bluejay. They are so beautiful and we saw two playing in Huntsville on Wednesday morning.

Lately, we've had ALL of the wood peckers coming daily for their supply from the peanut feeder. Of course, the chickadees, nuthatches and siskins are regulars ... sometimes it seems the whole back yard is in flight! Even a couple of grosbeaks the other day and a purple finch.<BR/><BR/>Squirrel is still going nutso on it's seed collectingCicero Singshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13438108795744902961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176502.post-22251935778336072062008-10-09T10:51:00.000-04:002008-10-09T10:51:00.000-04:00Hi Ruth!

Its kind of scary when you realize all of sudden they're at your feet reaching up for peanuts! Uh, I don't have them, please don't run up my leg and bite me I'll go and get them right now! LOL! Its kind of neat though when they hold your hand when getting their peanut. <BR/>Tell me about Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16627287902591490601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176502.post-35278155040265120142008-10-09T09:29:00.000-04:002008-10-09T09:29:00.000-04:00Lovely pictures.

I agree with kgmom I get a vision of a lovely princess singing with the birds.<BR/>I had kept bird seed out all summer but didn't have to fill too often. The latter part of summer and into September I didn't fill it at all. No birds.
