Sorry for the lack of posting this week, we finally are having beautiful autumn weather and I have been doing lots of outside chores. The garden and planters are taking on their winter look.
This morning I am taking a few extra minutes with my coffee and camera and enjoying the birds coming to the feeder right outside my window...grab a cup and enjoy them with me. A goldfinch...
and a late season robin...
a white-breasted nuthatch...
and oh my gosh is that what I think it is?
I think this little guy is another late migrator...the ruby-crowned kinglet though he didn't stand still long enough for a better photo or id.
He wanted a drink but I have the fountain turned up so that the water doesn't freeze as fast and he was too afraid to go down to the water. He stared at it a few minutes and off he flew. I hope you enjoyed my feathered friends from this cloudy Friday morning.

Again - gorgeous photos! I haven't noticed too many birds in the backyard lately..they are smarter than I am in heading south!!
This was a lovely way to brighten any day.Hope your day is filled with good things.

You captured some fantastic shots, Marsha! I haven't seen a robin here for at least 2 weeks. I love the shot on the scarecrow's hat!
Wonderful pictures, Marsha ... We've had several migrations fly over the last few days. The seemed extremely skittish. Several groups of red-winged blackbirds and a large group of robins have flown over. Made lots of noise and darted in and out of trees. A robin hit a window in our study and a blackbird a window in the family room. Heard a loud thud and saw feathers on the window.
Gorgeous picture's, Marsha! I love how you wintered up the planters! Very pretty!
Amazing shots of the birds!
Great photos of your feathered friends. Reminds me that I haven't seen a robin for a while. Sometimes a few get confused and hang around all winter.
Beautiful photos, you get such a variety of birds. We only get a few kinds here, but I love to watch them feed too. I don't think your scarecrow is working though :-)
Blessings,
Marcia

Marsha, always come here for a dose of nature. You never let me down! Beautiful photos, I miss the birds at the cottage. I hope to get up north soon to see my feathered friends.
Stopped in from another blogger's site, so glad I did. You have beautiful pictures.
Cute birdies photos. Love the nuthatch!
RC Kinglet! I love those little birdies and you actually got great photos in the 2 nanoseconds the bird was not moving! I've never been able to do that.
