Someone must have told birds that there was treasure in our lawn - there were starlings, chaffinches, sparrows jumping around all over the place. I looked out 1/2 hour later and there was none!
I do admire the neat configuration and colours of this noisy and common bird.
Three good things;
1. Did some more spraying - weeds still grow in winter!
2. Played the piano for an hour - very calming.
3. A thick lamb chop for tea with mint sauce!
The trouble with them is that they overrun the nice birds. We've been inundated with Boat-tailed Grackles this past week- 1,000's of them! It was awful. Chased all my sweet little chickadees away and everyone else. But it appears they've moved on. Thank goodness. The only non-lethal method of getting rid of them was quite expensive! Good shot. And thanks so much for the fav on the sunflower.
What a beautiful bird. I didn't realise they were so colourful. I like your 3 things. I also play piano but don't often play just for pleasure. I play piano/organ at church now and again.
