I went to get my camera this morning when we were eating breakfast because the weather has turned a touch warmer and a few of our bird friends are returning. There was a brilliant cardinal that perched on our deck and I wanted to get a picture of it. By the time I got my act together it was gone so we settled for finches and a couple nuthatches.
I love the nuthatches. They live their lives upside down. I don't think I have ever seen one perched on the side of a tree up-right. I LOVE LOVE LOVE to watch these silly little birds.
Adam built a bird house last year and we finally got it hung up. Jonathan and the boys spent Saturday afternoon at the conservation center building a new bluebird house. When they hung up the bluebird house out by the garden they hung Adam's birdhouse in the pear tree that sits outside of our bedroom window. This picture is for you Adam... who has waited a year for his birdhouse to be hung. Now... we just need birds.

What beautiful birds you have out there! We only have robins, magpies, and crows.
What great pictures! My kids have taken to "bird watching" this week, but like Sandi said there's just not much variety to see! A seagull is only exciting the first dozen times.
