i dream in birds...

which makes me happy...

especially on these very, very cold days.

good~bye december, 2009.

hello new year.

blessed morn

the air is filled with song.
the birds are in their chorus.


all is right with the world this wet morning.

watching the birds this january morn has been most satisfying...
...they seem a little more active with the rain gently falling
and not quite as cool temps... it is 59 degrees as opposed to nearly freezing.

this is downey woodpecker just a tiny thing...not more than a few inches.


he is new to dash home farm...welcome sweet boy.


mr. cardinal seems content enough.

mr. bluebird is on watch as he often is over the mrs. and their nesting box.

sometimes they are able to enjoy a bath together.

a pair of yellow finches sit together quietly after eating many niger seeds.

i put out a feast of suet and black sunflower seeds yesterday...

to bid my bird friends to move in a little closer.

chickadee is spying out the prospects

but hasn't made the leap to the new buffet.

it is quite soaked now.

we shall see... we shall see...
