How nice of you to provide them with a hot tub!

Very pretty picture Jess.

That's a really neat picture. Love the contrast of Robin on snow. Thanks for sharing that.

We got hit with snow too. How many inches did you get? I think we got 6-7 inches. All our robins over here are hiding, poor little guys. I love that picture as well. He was probably thinking "what was I thinking coming back this early, maybe its not to late to go back"

LOL That's a good picture caption. We got about 4 inches so far with another 1-2 expected tonight. Still coming down a bit but lighter now.

Thanks everyone for the compliments! I'm glad you enjoyed. I got a few more to share. Yes I am birdwatching more than working today

Cute little junco.

Goldfinch

Goldfinch and house finch

Junco party (ok they let one house finch join!)

Sleepy dove (too bad the dirty thistle sock was kind of in the way!)

Kimmy I love the hot tub quip! I run a birdie spa here

Great, great photos! Love my juncos, too! I have never seen a goldfinch in the city where we live now, but we used to get them sometimes where I grew up, where there are more woods nearby. And I love the coo of the mourning doves, too, don't you?

I love the songs and calls of most birds, but doves are definitely one of my favorites to listen to. I also love to hear the loons but unfortunately don't live close enough to a lake to hear them regularly. I did not used to see as many goldfinches but I kept putting out thistle and it just seemed one year they all showed up, and have been coming ever since. We get quite a wide variety of birds here, some come for the water, some for the food, some for the shelter of the trees around the yard. Sometimes we get a cooper's hawk that takes up residence in the yard for awhile looking for an easy meal

The juncos will be heading out of here soon as they only come here for the winter. I enjoy watching them all, and thought they looked so pretty against the snow!
