I am ready for PIZZA!

Nothing beats hunkering down to a tasty Grady's Pizza! Umm Good!!!! Andy and Peter this one is for you guys! Too bad they don't deliver to California or Iraq!

Ah the weather is much warmer today!

Sparrow, Downey Wood Pecker, Black Bird with that purple/blue tint, and one hungry squirrel!

Squirrel ala crystal light

Frosteria the squirrel braving the inclement weather to grab a bite of corn.

Sparrows in the snow

Sparrows, Doves and Downey Wood Peckers stopping by for a bit of refreshment on a cold winter's day.

Winter enters with lots of Snow!

Our California bird house covered with snow (lower picture), the bird feeder holds a lot of snow too!

A Wren visits this winter.

Winter 2009 has arrived and so has a Predator!

Our Predator of the day was a swift Cooper's Hawk that found a chubby sparrow to use as a snack. I was at the computer and her the wings flapping just in time to look up and see the hawk grab the sparrow in mid-flight and head up into the tree. As I got my camera the Hawk decided to find a more stable place to use as it's table. The first picture is after he had devoured the sparrow and was then inspecting a nest in the same tree. You have to look carefully to see the hawk and the nest.

Winter or not this Northern Cardinal found the comfort of the feeder away from the wind to chow down before bedtime.

This beautiful Nuthatch appeared at the feeder and posed for this picture.

Pesky as the squirrels are, they are in-genius in finding ways to get to nuts. This one would leap about six feet from a fence post to land on the baffle and grab the hanging nut holder to keep from falling to the ground. Then it did all kinds of contortions to feed from the nut holder.
