This was last night - tonight is promising to be just as beautiful. Can't wait.

First time ever to see one of these beautiful birds. The Indigo Bunting is actually an all black bird. But the refractive nature of it's feathers make them appear blue.

Only there for a short time on the feeder. Have not seen it since. Hope it comes back!

One of my favorite little birds is the Gold Finch. They are so bright and beautiful. Especially in the spring when the males really put on a show.

These birds are plentiful and pretty easy to attract to a feeder. Get a finch feeder and some finch food and that is pretty much it.

Thought I would post a few pics this next week from the birds that have been hanging around the house.

The key to getting these shots - have a feeder, some water and a way to get close. I have a feeder set outside a kitchen window that brings in all kinds of birds. Then I sit on my kitchen counter (usually when Linda is not home) and stay as still as possible. Little birds don't like movement.

Get a feeder - have some fun
