Oh heck ..... I just gotta post a couple more photos! LOL I've been drooling over all the truly beautiful shots here on the Bird Feeder threads and all the various Bird Watching threads. My camera doesn't have quite the zoom range that many of you have. (Now I get to dream of a better camera. LOL ..... though that's certainly not going to happen for a long time!)

I'm telling ya .... I go outside and act like I am adding something to the feeders and the birds come back! It's so funny! And I do try to drop a couple peanuts or something else in there. It's like a little game. I go out, they come back. I can hear all kinds of birds calling and chirping in the trees around me. I'm being watched. Almost feel like I'm being stalked. LOL!

I am really wondering if there are a LOT of bird feeders in my area. I see these same birds .... Blue Jays, Cardinals, and Painting Buntings or whatever they are. I don't see many small birds. Though a flock of Robins drop by once a week to eat the Brazilian Pepper Tree berries in the vacant lots around me and then use my ponds/fountains to drink from.

This Blue Jay seems like a very smart fella! He's definitely got personality. lol

I am SOOOOOOO EXCITED that I finally have birds! Yay!!!!!! Pinch me! Now ..... maybe there is still hope that I will attract a hummer or two to my yard. My fingers and toes are crossed. That would be the ultimate for me. Ironically, that is the creature that actually got me started gardening two years ago. I have so many plants that are supposed to be nectar plants for hummers. No hummers yet, but I'm holding out on faith that they WILL come! :-) :-)
