What's outside of your picture window today?

What a treat outside my window. The lingering cold weather has resulted in having Balitmore Orioles and Rose-Breasted Grosbeaks. I thought I had heard an Oriole so halved an orange and put it out. Yes, I did hear an Oriole!!! Unusual to see these beauties as well as the Grosbeaks that were voraciously devouring the suet thus attracting smaller birds to glean the crumbs from the patio. A most delightful and refreshing morning.

@parus I am up before most of the birdies today. The blue jays and Stellar jays are fat and sassy, the family of woodpeckers have been learning to fly, and I expect to see goslings before too long. Seem to not be in sync with the deer and their babies right now; they are wandering through when I am not near a window. But we do have a mated pair of bald eagles who have been making circle in the sky. On Sunday the one came down fairly low, so I squeaked to her, watching her turn a tighter circle and peer down at me!

You are having a special day for sure! That may be the rose-breasted grosbeak family who visited me on the way up north a few weeks ago. Such lovely birds....I've never had an oriole, ever, but just read in Birds and Blooms about attracting them. Don't think I'm going that route....I've spent all I dare on these little guys and don't have anymore room for feeders or water or baths....do have a fountain for them and for me. It's coming...my fountain my fiance and I bought at Atlanta market years ago was knocked over by chasing squirrels last year, in pieces. I just replaced it with something to provide the moving water and lovely, relaxing sounds.
That's it now. The birds and all my little visitors will make do with one of the best feasts available in the Southeast!!!! At least in my neighborhood.....so, it's time to enjoy it all now and clean up the rest of the plants, add the little stone wall and pavers....hopefully before the end of spring.
Life is so full of good things. Not so good things are abundant, but I am choosing to focus on the good.....may have to hunt, but something's there!
Waiting for call from plumber, from the Condo Association manager whom I called yesterday to see if the association may perhaps cover the cracked cast iron pipe surprise I got yesterday....I pray this is their responsibility....I was President of the association for several years, worked on board for other years, but can't remember what the docs say and pray, pray,, pray.....the work will be cumbersome, expensive, messy, destroy several walls and ceilings....but, that's just that. So, off we go, Another day!
Blessing, elizabeth

@parus. Oh wow, what a treat! Both birds are so beautiful with plumage and songs!! Simple pleasures are the best, aren’t they? ☺️
