Wouldn’t you be so happy to look out your kitchen window and see that? It’s an American Goldfinch, near as I can figure, and I have one little birdy that hangs out in my Linden tree, backed by my now-blooming Lilacs. Every time I catch a glimpse of him nibbling at the birdfood I put out, it makes me smile. Tender mercies.
Oh, how beautiful! I don’t have birds pretty like that, but I have quail. Many, many quail running along with their babies close behind them. I can’t help but smile every time I see their bobbing heads…
Oh, we have quail too! And I adore the way the babies bob along behind them.
What a pretty bird!
Let’s hope it doesn’t turn out to be like the bird that Heather O. is dealing with.
That’s one more for exotic bird bingo…
One more reason to love a window in the kitchen, and having some time to actually look out of it! Beautiful bird, reminds me of the humming birds we would see growing up!
Did you take that pic? It’s incredible! The purple contrasting with the yellow is stunning! What a beautiful thing to look at. Send one my way???
Very cool. I saw a hummingbird at my pomegranate tree the other day. Delightful!
That’s beautiful! I love lilacs!
I needed to hear “tender mercies”. Thanks for finding the sun through the clouds.
No, alas, I did not take that picture-I got if off a wild bird of America site.
Yeah, Heather has the monopoly on the psycho birds right now- mine just sit on the branches and tweet.
Oh wow, Oh heavens, God seems determined to have you painfully shiny and smooth and round, doesn’t He?
Glad things went as well as they did. I wish you many naps.
Beautiful picture. Thanks for sharing!
Yeah! That IS a stinkin’ awesome picture you took! Wow!
oh maybe if i had read the thread, i would’ve written something else. Smarty.
Great picture, but I personally like the title even more.
I love Goldfinches, they are particularly fond of black thistle seeds. I have missed visiting your site this week.
My lilacs came out this week as well. I am sending you some snapshots asap. Big hugs Tracy!
