EATING SEEDS BETWEEN THE LINES – Marilyn Armstrong
The birds are slowly coming back. Slowly. I don’t know if more are going to show up. I’m particularly worried about the disappearance of the Mourning Doves. They don’t migrate. They live here year-round, but I haven’t seen one. But they are shy and it takes them a while to find their way to the seeds.
Meanwhile, there was quite a flurry of birds today. And here are some squared up pictures. Lots of lines. The entire feeder is all wire lines. The deck is also lines made from wood planks and posts.
But these two pictures are special because one is lovely Lady Cardinal. While Sir Cardinal is showier in his brilliant scarlet feathers, she is — in her own way — a gorgeous bird. Her colors are wonderful!
And the second one is one of my all-time favorite birds, the Red-bellied Woodpecker.
Lady Cardinal is a lovely bird.

She sat still long enough for me to get a good clear shot. That rarely happens!

wonderful bird and feeder lines . . . I have totally failed to include any birds in my lines schedule. Think I may need to rectify this!
