Happy Group of Friends # 2

This is just a continuation of what I posted yesterday. It’s about the group of avian friends I see most days in my backyard or at the feeders. These birds show up at different times of the day or sometimes they just feel like crowd the feeders and deck. Either way, I like to observe their behavior as individuals and as a group. Some birds are very predictable because the follow a pattern of moves as a force of habit. Such as the Carolina Chickadee or the Tufted Titmouse e.g. They fly from any location to a feeder of their choice, get one sunflower seed, go back to the same location, crack the shell, eat the seed pulp and return to the exact same location to get another seed.

Throughout the year you get to see many different events, most of what I write on my daily posts. It’s not only the photos, it’s the birds lives in their daily routine what makes it  worth while!

    • Thank you Jet! I just try to pay back to Nature for all the nice things that gave me. I do that with happiness in my heart! 🙂

  1. You are becoming a great bird psychologist, H.J.! Observing and analyzing individual and group behavior of your beautiful visitors 🙂 Lovely!

    • It’s very exciting to discover what was instinctive and what acquired, they do learn new skills. Thank you Tiny! 🙂

  2. It’s so wonderful to have the birds to bring us such joy! I actually know people who don’t like birds, who say they are creepy! Then I think of the people who are so busy rushing through life, they never see the beauty of the birds all around them. Sad! Thank you for always reminding us of that beauty, H.J.!

    • There’s a lot of misunderstanding in our world, e.g. For someone that party every night, drinks, take drugs and have occasional sex, others say “Its living the good life” “Has it made”… Really? They have no idea what life is! It’s sad!
      Thank you Amy! 🙂
