Happiness is…

…watching the American Goldfinches turn yellow and play in your flowers :)

… seeing the female Indigo Bunting from last weekend – she stuck around!

… finally snapping a picture of the elusive Prairie Warbler who has been mocking you for the past three mornings, and as a bonus, getting to hear him sing!

… watching the cardinals take a bath in the birdbath that you cleaned for them yesterday (it’s always nice when they appreciate your efforts!)

… admiring the colors as your goldfinch poses in the shade while the background behind him is alight with color.

…watching the Painted Bunting hop out onto the “waiting perch” as he considers a flight to the feeder.

…laughing at the Palm Warbler as he finds every mealworm you’ve dropped under the feeder…

…listening to the happy calls of the American Goldfinches as they circle your yard.  “Baby!”  “Potato chip!”

…saying hello to the Brown Thrasher and realizing that since the pair of them have stopped visiting together, his mate must be busy sitting on eggs at a nest nearby.

… laughing at the Red-winged Blackbirds who are so certain that they are missing something because they can’t get into the bunting cage!

… playing peek-a-boo with the goldfinches as they bounce around in the wind

… feeling the grass under your bare feet, the breeze against your cheek, and waving to Hubby in the kitchen! :)
