Birdwatching & Brady

Yesterday I had to go for hay for the goats & while I was there,Cathleen was up with the baby,so I was able to hold him.He is 13lbs.now,such a happy baby.He is very active,his little arms & legs were flying all over the place.
Fast forward to today.I had a red-bellied woodpecker at the feeder this am,but was unable to get a real good picture of him.When I go for the camera,the shelties have a barking frenzy & the birds fly away.Some of the birds are used to them,but not the woodpecker.So if he comes back,I`ll have to sorta slink around the door frame to try to capture a better one.
I saw a bluebird yesterday in my neighbors yard,again,no camera.


This is a darker color junco,I read somewhere that they are better parents than the lighter gray colored ones.I believe I may take a chair into the woods & sit today to meditate & see if I can photograph the birds in a more natural setting.

Great pictures! Brady sure is a sweetie pie! I'm glad you got to hold him.
Yesterday a flock of bluebirds came by. I know they were here because I could HEAR their cheery voices, but I never did see them. They were all around me, although that could have been an echo.
I love to sit in the woods and meditate. I did that last week with Angel Kitty. I take a back-pack with books and writing material, a stick (to chase away stray dogs if necessary), and Angel on the leash. We went up to the cemetary and sat.

I never did get out there to just sit,it is almost dark already,but I may have gotten some more red bellied pics while I was out in the yard getting it ready to put bulbs in,I had my camera with me,now if the weather just stays nice a few more days,love,phyllis

My plan is to take my new laptop downtown once in awhile to blog, but it won't be a regular thing because "downtown" is so far away! I will also try to look at your blog and others more often, but it takes awhile for them to load also. So when I go where there's wifi, I'll look more.
I think it is supposed to get cold now here. There's a gorgeous moon tonight! I got some pics, but you know how that goes. . . it never looks as good in pics as in person.
Love, Aleta

The moon was beautiful last night,I didn`t think I could capture it,so I didn`t try.The clouds surrounding it were awesome,the dogs & I moon watched for awhile last night.
We are getting more & more juncos,most of them are the darker colored ones.Last year it was the opposite,more grayish ones.phyllis
