We settled into our chairs...with a cold refreshment...around 5pm...
To enjoy the late day sunshine...
And started to watch the show...
I had my camera ready...and had to zoom in on most of these shots...
Everyone was pretty darn hungry...
Even got a shot of a small barn swallow...calling for his mate♥️
We spent the night....pretty chilly...more water problems...
Will tell you all about that later...
But for now...enjoy the birds!
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hope you all had a great day...

I do love birdy pics! Mourning doves have such sweet gentle faces..IQ of a flower pot, but they look and sound so sweet.

That is true, Jane!
DeleteI love all birds!
Beautiful bird shots. I just love them. Your dinner sounds really good.
ReplyDeleteIt is cooking right now....smells heavenly!
DeleteI love those lovey-doveys. They are so gentle and sweet looking. My yard was full of gold finches again the other day. They like our trees, I guess. I still have suet, apples, peanuts and seeds at the front so I'm sure they are partaking. Gorgeous photos, Linda. Thanks for stopping by again. I guess I should go over and meet Eddie. That is, if he likes cats. haha!
ReplyDeleteEddie is lovely....
DeleteHow are your Chickadees making out?
Well, I haven`t seen her for a couple of days but the nest is still inside the hole. I might just be missing her though.
DeleteThey are so cute....love them!
DeleteI love the header picture. That is just too cute! Lots of birds in your feeder! They all seem hungry, don't they? I haven't had a red-winged blackbird in my yard. You only see those here along the road sides for some reason! I want one! haha. I also want a bluebird! I need to put out a wanted sign. haha.
ReplyDeletedinner sound delish!
Thanks Betsy....the red winged blackbirds come from across the street at the cottage...a small marsh with some bull rushes...I love their song...no Blue birds...don't think I have ever even seen one!
DeleteThe sign might work!
such beautiful photos, you must have had a great day, tiring but wonderful I hope the water troubles work themselves out, lovely supper too!!
ReplyDeleteVery tiring....but a lot accomplished!
DeleteWill tell you about the water tomorrow.....excited? Hahaha!
Hi there, just catching up! Glad to know that things are looking up at the cottage, sounds as though you have been very busy bears working away out there! I bet that you are glad to be back though. I hope that the water is/will be sorted very soon. Your crochet bear for Miss V is just too cute and it is so lovely the way that she plays with him too!! Hope that you have a great weekend. xx
ReplyDeleteGlad you're back!
DeleteThe bear is most popular!
MY boyfriend's favorite bird is the Red-winged Blackbird ... wish we had more of them around us! LOVE the pictures ... thanks for sharing. Hope your water problems dry up and blow away!! Linda
ReplyDeleteThey are fixed now....thank goodness!
DeleteIt is so lovely to relax and watch the birds. We got the hummingbird and oriole feeder out yesterday ... just in case one should happen by! Oh no, not more water issues. Hope they can be sorted out quickly.
ReplyDeleteI must remember to take a few oranges to the cottage...for the Orioles!
DeleteGreat bird photos! So nice to see so many at your feeder. I've stopped filling my feeders and the birds have gone. No goldfinches or doves but I saw 2 chickadees today. They kind of roam away this time of year anyway and find their own food and a place to start nesting. That's really too bad you still have water issues. Enjoy the weekend!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I love your header photo of the robin admiring himself! So cute.
DeleteThanks Pam....I usually feed the finches for a while...and the other birds as well...
DeleteI must get the bird bathes out....love that show!
Love your header photo . Wonderful photos . Pretty much what we have been doing here garden clean up and watching the birds . It was raining all afternoon here today slowing down this evening . The weekend is to be sunny and quite nice . Thanks for sharing . Have a good weekend oh and hope the water problem gets solved !

Take it easy.....relax!
My daughter is 40 today!
Time flies!
Well thank you young lady for those very kind welcoming words! . . . . You make me blush! and I am such a shy guy! lol. And if Deb is watching I do like cats and Linda is quite right, I am lovely ROFL. I am modest too lol.
ReplyDeleteGreat you had an enjoyable stay at the cottage and those shots of the birds are remarkable and pick up so much detail. You are truly blessed to have such an abundance of varieties on your side of the pond. I agree with Betsy that your blog header is fantastic.
That grilled pork tenderloin looks absolutely scrumptious!!
Why thanks Eddie....
DeleteThe header is a favorite photo from last year....
Dinner was excellent!
Enjoy your weekend...♥️
Wonderful shots Linda.
ReplyDeleteFrom icebergs to sitting out in the space of a week, can't be bad!
Not too bad at all, Jessica!
DeleteBeautiful header, and so cute pecking at the mirror. You have such a wonderful array of birds...want to go bird watching...come to Linda's. I've packed, showered, clean out the frig so I don't come home to green mold..haha...now I'm taking a break to visit a few friends before we head out in the morning.
ReplyDeleteSafe trip Wanda♥️
DeleteYour pictures are wonderful! What sort of bird is that black one, do you know? It reminds me of a myna bird! I need to have a zoom lens. I spot the best birds at the lake...never get a shot at all.
ReplyDeleteCold and rain predicted here in the upper Midwest. Sigh. All in good time (yes I say that a lot!)
Happy weekend, my new friend!
XO,
Jane
Hi Jane...that is a red winged blackbird....beautiful,eh?
DeleteSun shining today...but chilly....all in good time! Hahaha!
BRRRR!! It's raining and cold here.... Love how your pictures warm things up.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't look like a very promising day. Going up to 7 cel. Enjoy your stay at the cottage.
We are home...only stayed one night!
DeletePlus...no internet out there! Yikes!
So lovely! Especially the mourning doves.
ReplyDeleteYes...love those Doves!
DeleteYou attract some beauties to the garden Linda, it's nice to get such good pics of them all.
