We are lucky to have so many different birds visit our feeders. And a little walk in the woods gives us glimpses of many more. The weather here has been hot and the birds have been active.

Watching the birds helps to soothe us when we get too caught up in the politics of our state and nation. The birds don't make demands or break promises; they just go about living as birds should live. And providing us a respite for a while.

What lovely photo's and they are so sharp. Great to see.
All the best Jan
It's amazing to see how far ahead your birds are compared to ours. Wonderful photos!
I'll never forget that awful 9/11, sitting inside watching the horrible images on TV. Then, I needed a break. I stepped outside and the birds were all still singing. It did soothe my soul.
I can understand your turning to the birds for solace.
The daily grind can get us all down at times.
Wonderful images, enjoy my friend.
Birds are a pleasure to watch, I just wish I had more variety! Yours are lovely!
Love seeing the birds you see there. They do offer a respite and a glimpse into a different way of life.
Love them all! Nuthatches live upside down...they are fun to watch. We remain connected from afar to NC politics. We have many friends fighting the good fight, but it is most upsetting what is going on. I cannot fathom Christians who believe their faith gives them the right to hate. And that's all I've got to say about that.
I love your bird photos. They are awesome and you are so lucky to have these lovely birds visit your home.
NC politics are so lamentable just now that the birds make a lot more sense.
Cute pictures...the nuthatch loves to show off ! Speaking of politics ...what about that idiot Trump ? I'll bet the Republicans aren't too thrilled about that !!
They are all so lovely!!!
Thanks for your comments, everyone.
