I've got mine! by maggiemae

I've got mine!

Honey soaked bread is what these wee birds like! There can be masses of them all trying to get a bit all at once but if anything worries them - they are away like a flash! Had to shut the cat inside!
I upped the ISO her to see if it was better focus and it is a bit - had a tripod helping too! My three legged friend!
Gorgeous light Maggie… a beautiful morning, soaked honey bread, this is a birds life.

@cheribug They have three common names, Cheryl, Wax eye, Silver eye, and Ring-eye.

They must be so much fun to watch! Cute photo!

Cute birds and even cuter birdhouse!
July 23rd, 2012  
Wonderful job. I think they are just the cutest.
July 23rd, 2012  
Wonderful light. My birds would love honey soaked bread! I think they will have to be happy though with their sunflower seeds. My husband would notice if all of the honey disappeared.

@sarasdadandmom Terry, yes it would if they are around! Still too cold for them yet!
July 23rd, 2012  
@carolinedreams I'll see on the weather tonight what your temps were! We had the sun but now it's 5 deg!
July 23rd, 2012  
@yonnie bought this at Mitre 10 but John put it up on our old clothes line pole rather innovatively!
July 23rd, 2012  
They are so cute! Great capture, Maggiemae!
July 23rd, 2012  
I have seen these little birds before & remember them for their bright white rimmed eyes, I love them. Such busy little things having their lunch.
July 23rd, 2012  
What a fab capture of these cute little birds. I really like your feeder but if I had an open one like that, it would be filled with squirrels not birds ;-)
July 23rd, 2012  
@cimes1 I think I'm glad we don't have squirrels - the seem to be so pretty but a great nusciance!
July 23rd, 2012  
@maggiemae They are. I'd be getting more bird photos if it wasn't for the squirrels. However, once in a while they cooperate for a good photo :-)
July 23rd, 2012  
Great capture!
July 23rd, 2012
