And the birds, awesome photos. I love bird watching. We are actually in a migratory path, too, but most of the birds or out in the desert or near the water, though sometimes I do catch a glimpse of a new one passing through. Some pretty yellow ones at the walking path last week but didn't have my big camera to get a close up. They are way too fast for my little iPhone camera. Have a fabulous Friday.

My garden is full of spring flowers at the moment ... it was dull, grey and bare and then in a moment everything seemed to just erupt, so it won't be long until yours does too. I'm so glad that the snow has finally disappeared and that the birds are venturing out. Is the Thrasher related to a Thrush?

I've not seen a brown thrasher before. the goldfinches are lots of fun, I didn't know that about their singing; I will have to watch for that.

I just hung up a hummingbird feeder over a week ago and I haven't seen a hummer yet. It is a feeder that is attractive to me, but maybe not so much the hummingbirds. All of the birds are wonderful - a sure sign of spring! I hope your flowers get going soon - garden parties are fun! Your knitted flowers are a good substitute for now.Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14294624848003071390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062746784364845999.post-77355317640023110552014-05-08T18:47:35.129-04:002014-05-08T18:47:35.129-04:00Love love love bird pics...love love love bird pic...Love love love bird pics...love love love bird pics!<br />Jane x<br />Jane and Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08102086552682194819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062746784364845999.post-88523788453020209422014-05-08T18:33:12.366-04:002014-05-08T18:33:12.366-04:00Hi Wendy, wow your knitted flowers came out beauti...Hi Wendy, wow your knitted flowers came out beautiful!
