The weather kept me at home this morning, so I went outside to do some springtime gardening and sprinkler repairs. Being outside with our Painted Buntings was a lot of fun.  I watched them diving into the viburnum hedge and the grapefruit tree, then hopping out onto the feeder to eat.  The House Finches also figured out how to get into that feeder.  I think the little birds enjoy having a feeder that the big birds can’t get into!

My favorite shot of the morning, taken through the kitchen window with The Beast, was a group of FOUR little green birds!  We haven’t seen a male in about two weeks now, but the female/juvenile birds just keep coming.  :-D
