Pine Warbler

Pine Warblers only visit the suet feeders in the winter. Our winter has been really mild this year so...I was thrilled to get this recent photo of a male!

Isn't he a beauty?

The Birds Are Back!

I blame the weather more than Hawks for keeping the songbirds from visiting my bird-feeders.

American Goldfinch/Carolina Chickadee/American Goldfinch

I was amazed to see male American Goldfinch in January! 

He has his Summer Coat (feathers) already!!!

New Bird Feeders

A co-worker's husband created this cool bird feeder. She gave it to me filled with sunflower seeds. It is a hit with birds of all sizes.  What a cool Christmas Present!


He used 2 metal pie plates and hardware screen. Be sure to add drainage holes in the bottom as he did. 

Thanks Teresa and Dennis!!!

Now for the loneliest feeder in my yard. I brought this feeder at Lowe's a few weeks ago along with some dried meal-worms. I was hoping that Bluebirds or maybe a Woodpecker would visit. Sigh....

Maybe the location is wrong. I will move it to a more isolated area and see what happens.

A New Year...A New Way...

....of living. This is the ideal time to look at your life and make adjustments that will lead to better health and happiness. 

Carolina Chickadee

Observing nature is a great stress reliever. Try hanging bird feeders filled with black oil sunflower seed near your "easy to see out" windows. Make my Bird Cakes (see side margin for recipe) for your suet feeders. Have a camera? Photographing bird/wildlife is major fun and challenging! 


Try it and share your photos on your Social Sites of choice. Maybe...just maybe we will help save our native birds by merely loving them by sharing them.


About the Atkin's Diet: I love this way of eating! I cheated a bit during Christmas but am back on track. As of today: lost 5 inches in my waist. Yeah!!!

Merry Christmas!

The weather here in NW Georgia has been very odd. Some days it has reached the 70's and others down to the 30's. This has affected the birds. On the warm days they are taking advantage of the insects out and about. On cooler days they are visiting the feeders.

Birding is an ongoing learning experience. That is what keeps me interested. 

How about you? What keeps you interested?

Merry Christmas and Happy Birding!!!

The Incredible Shrinking Belly!

After a few weeks on the Atkins way of eating and my belly has shrunk enough for me to fit into a skirt I couldn't zip-up a mere 8 weeks ago. My energy level is up and I am not going hungry between meals. Just a few more pounds and I will go into the maintenance phase! 


Now for the Birds: Activity has been slow at my feeders due to the warm temps. 


Thanksgiving Day while driving down my sister's driveway I had to slam on the brakes and turn backwards to get this photo of a male Yellow-bellied Sapsucker.  It was well worth getting a kink in my neck!

We have a cold front moving in so will be on the look-out for the winter only birds.
