WHAT WOULD THE BIRDS DO? – Marilyn Armstrong

I didn’t take pictures today. When I was ready to shoot, the birds were off in the boughs of trees. Sleeping, I presume. They probably had a later dinner, but I was tired and I have a lot of pictures already taken. This is a sort of “best of birds” from the past week.

So today, just pictures. Tomorrow is a feeder filling day. Which may mean I can shoot — or not. It depends on how terrified they are when we fill the feeder. Thursday I’ve got my cardiologist and that’s just outside of Boston so I won’t be doing much that day.

And we are supposedly getting snow Friday and Saturday. So we’ll so how the rest of the week goes.

  Early in the morning, lunchtime, and right before sunset here. And it depends on which birds. My best time is late afternoon, but if I want woodpeckers, it has to be late breakfast — brunch time.

      I took a bunch more early this morning because the oil truck woke us up. Supposed to snow tomorrow (a lot maybe) so I guess they wanted to get everyone filled in advance of the weather. I was not expecting them so soon — they were here just three weeks ago so we couldn’t have been more than quarter of a tank down … but the temps also dropping, so there’s that.

  Every 3 or 4 days. Mostly, every third day because be then, they’ve eaten all the good stuff. But we have a really big feeder AND a lot of birds.
