Hi Chiilybean, welcome to the forum. So nice of you to share with us. I've seen the Waxwings and Robins eating petals from the Crabapples only. Maybe they do eat blossoms from other fruit trees, but I've never seen them eat flowers in my flower beds. I've seen the Purple finch eat Fushia buds, but they never eat enough, to do damage to the flowering plant. I've seen the Chipping Sparrow, Goldfinches and Purple Finches and Chickadees busy in the crabapple, but I thing they were after bugs, rather then the flowers.

Nanny, nice pic of the Crows, I too find them really intelligent. They have come to the yard in early Spring, when the snow was melting. I did attract them with dog and cat food, for photo opportunity. But did not keep it up, the Grackles and Starlings were also fond of the food. And I was getting some unwanted predators. They are still around, I think they are raiding the Grackle's nest. They are constantly being chase by a bunch of them.

Duc wonderful Eagle shot, the bushtit is so sweet on that Iris leaf and so glad your Brewer's Blackbird made out ok, and that your nerves settle there. I know the feeling!

Lily so happy to see the Redheaded Woodpecker again, glad he's still coming.

Margaret the blue really make the Corella stand out, very nicely. Great capture of the Tern bringing up the casting, ;)

Mrs Ed the Robin aren't all that shy of people. They are very daring at time, they will come only inches of me, when I'm sitting by the pond. Hope you get, many more opportunities of bathing time. Love the one you've caught.

Love is in the air, with these Waxwings. ;)
