Today when i was looking out the window into my garden, i saw two visitors that i hadn't seen for a while...

(note: i did not take these photos myself, i pasted them from the internet)

They are a jay and a song thrush! I have not seen them in my garden for nearly a year and thought they had disappeared. I am a keen ornithologist and love seeing the birds in my garden. I have a bird table in my garden to feed the wild birds, does anyone else have one???

We feed the birds, too, and pamper them with a heated bird bath as it gets very cold here in the winter in the Chicago area. In the spring, we watch their mating rituals and then they bring their babies to our feeder. So cute!

I have bird feeders all over the yard and a big bird bath. We don't need to heat ours in Florida but I keep it filled with fresh water for them. The birds love my yard and I love to watch them. We have cardinals, bluejays, finch, robins, woodpeckers, mockingbirds, and many others I don't know the name of :)

Welcome back birds! I have a woodpecker in my yard who just came back about 2 weeks ago! His name is JJ. I LOVE him! I want him to be my *outside pet*. He sort of likes me. He doesn't get scared when I come close. :D
