Cat, I d...Thanks, everyone, for the nice comments!<br /><br />Cat, I don't know how you survive all that snow out there- you're a braver woman than I!<br /><br />Don, thanks, I did check out the link you sent me; it's good some really good info. I was too tired to look them up when I was posting, and my bird book seems to have flown off somewhere!<br /><br />Thanks, Karin,it's the camera that gets the credit for the photos; I bought it because of the lens! I'm glad you're enjoying the birds as much as I am. Hmmm, a heated birdbath? I'll have to think about that one...<br /><br />Thanks, Manon! I really do love my bird feeder- funny how it's the little things that make us happy!<br /><br />Thanks, Laura; I love taking pictures of the birds, but I'm not really fond of cold weather, either. I actually cut off the end of one of the fingers on my glove so I could feel the shutter button!Sharmon Davidsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12857659019638341374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9162234011271401496.post-78481045514393778462010-01-17T21:36:32.236-05:002010-01-17T21:36:32.236-05:00great bird photos Sharmon!

You are right, tufted titmouse, and chickadee dee dee!! Which looks kind of similar to the nuthatches to me, and we have been getting as well. It's nice to have these varieties outnumbering the usual sparrows! I just love them all. A pair of resident cardinals visit, too :) Last winter I got my husband a heated bird bath, which is just great, since it never freezes. I got the ground level version so the squirrels will gather around the edge to drink as well. One day the water had evaporated (which thankfully doesn't ruin it!) and there were three mourning doves sitting in it warming their bellies!<br />You have more snow than we do up here - anything that needs a shovel counts!!<br />xxoo KarinKarin Bartimolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13490920503677450338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9162234011271401496.post-58369566270716977762010-01-15T18:02:59.479-05:002010-01-15T18:02:59.479-05:00Wonderful pics, Sharmon.

Your little friend is a chickadee, and it's wonderful to see that the titmouse/s/es/mice have come back to your feeders once again. My feeders here in Loveland get emptied each day, as I live at the end of the woods, and must be in a convenient fly-in location. Enjoy your creatures, great and small.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05098452374591312097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9162234011271401496.post-51943895963381710252010-01-15T09:46:36.389-05:002010-01-15T09:46:36.389-05:00lovely and I would never laugh at anyone who doesn...lovely and I would never laugh at anyone who doesn't usually experience SNOW the way we do. it really freaks people out and I totally understand that!<br />your photos are awesome, loved them all but the close ups of your pets and the birds are wonderful! thanks!Caterina Gigliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02866569809702127806noreply@blogger.com
