Some Favorite Bird Photos. #4
Hi again everyone! I hope you are all doing well and having a wonderful time today! It’s a rather cold day here, and cloudy once again, but that is quite typical for the month of December in our area. So, it’s nice to look at some pictures that make me feel warmer, like pictures of summer. Or summer flowers. Or in this post, summer birds. Although today’s picture is actually more of a spring picture, from the month of May to be exact.
Today’s bird is a male Rose-breasted Grosbeak.
They can be attracted to feeders when they first arrive, but once nesting begins, then they tend to stay more hidden away in the forest. I hope you enjoy today’s bird photo, have a great day and God bless!

Oddities and Beauty in Nature. #16
Hi everyone! Well, it’s the last Sunday of the year and here it is cloudy with a bit of light snow and a cold north wind blowing. Not exactly a nice day to be outside. However, it is a good day to sit inside with a cup of hot chocolate while wrapped in a blanket while on a comfortable chair and reading. A book, that is. A real book. You know the kind, one that’s made with paper. Oops, what am I saying?! Or perhaps reading a blog would be a good idea too. Whew, that was close.
Here is another pic that is both an oddity and beauty as well, nice dried grass, gone to seed.
That also reminds me of warmer days which are always nice to think about. For me, anyway. Have a great Sunday everyone and God bless!
