Pictures for Pam, Day 132: HFF: Pewee Through Fencing


(+10 insets!)
The days are more and more lovely with blue skies dotted with clouds and warm sunshine that greets me every morning. The explosion of greenery is a wonder to behold and the flowers are popping up everywhere. The transformation is such a wonderful sight. As much as I love the glory of autumn's incredible show, there isn't any way to compete with spring. What a special time.
With springtime comes more and more birdies! Our property is home to many species and they really get busy when breeding season arrives. We've recently filled our three bird feeders to give them an easy supply to care for their babies and every day they get more popular. About two weeks ago I made my own suet cakes using the bacon and sausage grease we'd been saving in containers and it's been such fun to see the birds gobbling them up.
It is a favorite pastime now to look out the back window to see who's at the feeders. Such personalities they have! Acorn Woodpeckers zoom in singly but sometimes in twos and threes and assume a very defiant, "YOU TALKIN' TO ME?!" attitude. They squawk and posture, letting everyone know they are in charge! Oregon Juncos usually fly in as a small flock of 5-10 and we call them "The Crew". They are equally happy to eat from the feeders or bounce around on the ground picking up fallen goodies. Fairly shy, they will fly away if challenged any other birds. We adore these smartly-attired cutie pies and love to hear their darling twitters.
The tiny "Skateboard Punks" are a favorite too, darling mouse-grey Pewees. With adorable triangular wedges of feathers which stick up on top of their heads, they are similar enough to tiny mohawks that we gave them a fitting nickname. Hopelessly cute, they fly in, grab a sunflower seed and disappear. A moment later, it will return for another one! Back and forth, what a fun sighting! If the coast is clear they will grab a sunflower seed, place it between their feet and stand on it. Then they'll hammer away at the seed, gobble the treat within and repeat the process until they're sufficiently full or scared off by another bird.
There are many other visitors too--California and Spotted Towees, Scrub and Steller's Jays, Lark Sparrows and just yesterday we began seeing White-Breasted Nuthatches and a Starling too! There should be a number of others as time goes on. We are quite surprised that we haven't seen any finches yet because they were always a common sight at our feeders. Hopefully they will catch wind of the tasty goodies and come to visit!
Since today is when I post my Happy Fence Friday picture I'm sharing an image that I photographed through fencing on our back deck and shows an adorable pewee (with its fancy hair lowered) enjoying some suet! You will find insets that show all the different birds that we've seen at our feeders so far this year. (Archive images :)
Pam, it was great fun to look for just the right birdy picture to talk about! After much deliberation the prize today goes to your awesome Easter Phoebe Collage, which is just perfect for this wonderful springtime mood! What a grand collection of fantastic pictures that showcase the journey of egg to fledging of these cutie pies. What a show. I loved it!! I hope you are doing well today on this lovely SPRING day!! :)

Moi aussi j'aime voir les oiseaux devant notre véranda. Pour cela, je jette des poignées de graines au sol sur un diamètre de 8 à 10 mètres. Tout au long de la journée, c'est un régal de voir ces allées et venues de moineaux, rouge-gorges, mésanges et aussi des tourterelles. Nous n'avons pas trop d'espèces et c'est bien dommage ! Quel bonheur aussi de les voir se désaltérer entre deux graines ingurgitées !
Je vous souhaite une bonne journée Janet !
Da ist ja richtig was los an den Futterplätzen

Thank you for posting in the group

The main image is just brilliantly captured and processed..............and I especially like the muted colour palette. The images in the PiPs are all wonderful too, I can't find a single one I don't like!
HFF to you and I hope you have an exceptionally good weekend :-)
HFF Janet et un très beau WE aussi.
Have a great weekend Janet ;-)
well done HFF ;-)
HFF!
I really like this collection of birdlife. Each in its self is a great picture, which could find a better life than a PiP.... In a nature book maybe?
Best Wishes, HFF, and a good weekend
Peter
HFF, Janet! Ich wünsche dir ein schönes Frühlingswochenende!
I like them ALL !!! HFF and have a fine weekend.
Wishing you both a warm, sunny weekend.
