My birdbath has a steady stream of visitors. You can sit for ages by the kitchen window and watch them all come and go. Thought I'd post a couple of pics. The first one is a robin with another little bird on the edge waiting his turn. The second one is a Baltimore Oriole.
Nice! I love Baltimore Orioles. I can't think of any other wild bird with Orange color. We watched one build a nest one year. They build a sort of sack real high up, about 100 feet in our case. Look way way up.

Message: Nice pictures, Pronoun. I love watching the birds at our feeder. I recently bought a new one that's supposed to be squirrel-proof. Sometimes I see a Baltimore oriole at my neighbor's feeder and a pair of goldfinches visits ours every spring.

Message: Pronoun, what a lovely spot! I love shade and ferns and rocks. We have two bird baths that birds of all sorts empty twice a day in hot weather. I love watching them raise their babies and bringing them to the water. Also, cats come to drink there and, if they need water, I am glad to provide for them, too. Oddly, there doesn't seem to be any danger to the birds from the cats!
That's a lovely scene. Mr. Ingy put out a bird feeder, fairly good size, and I swear the birds empty it every other day. We saw a bird the other day perched near the feeder, can't remember what kind it was but it's supposed to be a tiny bird. But this one was so fat it could barely fly straight. Mr. Ingy said, ''Another satisfied customer!''

Message: I would hardly get anything done because I would be watching for the birds all day. That's lovely. Thanks for posting the pictures.
