For the birds....

In Zone 3 not only are there fox, skunk, raccoons, squirrels and deer but many, many birds.  I love to hear them sing to me each day. 

Here are some pictures of our many daily visitors....
Hope you enjoyed the bird show....

Later -- Remington -- The Bird Dog -- out!

Rem,
Oh my word all of the birdie picture sent Mom over the edge...boy do you have a variety in zone 3. Tell Beth to change the linens and keep a light burning. Mom is on the way to stay with you all for a while.
Hugs Madi and Mom

That was so cool! You sure got lots of birdies to look at and listen to in zone 3. I would love to be there with you!

Rebecca said...

Thats so cool Remington! Does Ozabella like to sit and watch the birds too? It must be fun to be able to watch the birdies eating and taking baths.

I love the hummingbird! We don't have any in our zone (I don't remember which zone we are in), but we will be headed up to northern WI in August and will see lots of hummingbirds and other critters.

Your pal, Pip

Your Pileated is gorgeous! We get them around here knocking on our wood but they never get close enough for a good picture. So shy. Beautiful birds!

We enjoyed the bird show very much. We don't think we have seen so many different birds in one garden. Bet you never get bored of looking out of the window.

Frankie Furter and Ernie said...

You could give tours of Zone 3 and make a zillion green papers. I love birds.

Great bird show...What kind of birdies were visiting the hummer feeders?
Our hummers have been very frisky lately, keeping Mom busy refilling feeders.
Hugs and belly rubs to you and nosetaps to Ozabella!

Oh, hello hummies!
Do you mix the sweet water yourself for the hummingbirds?
Living in a beautiful garden like that, no wonder you're the most romantic pup!
Cheers!

Wow, what pretty visitors. I love to bark and chase them, don't you? Sometimes I think that if I run fast enough, and bark loud enough, I can soar in the sky with them all. Unfortunetly, it hasn't worked yet. But, it will! Don't worry! I'll fly some day! Just like those pretty birds.

Ginny Hartzler said...

Wow, Rem!! How cool that your day is so full of colorful birds! I'm loving these because we are birdwatchers, too. I've identified these as catbird, bluejay, house finch,hummingbird, hairy or downey woodpecker, goldfinch, pileated woodpecker. Great photos!!

Mollie Jo and Bobo said...

Wow Remington! Those are some pawsome shots! Can we come live in Zone 3? We love to sit quietly and watch the wild life.

White Dog Blog said...

You have quite a variety of birdies and your hummingbirds are a different color from the ones we have. How do you keep the squirrels from eating all of the seed and suet?

TwoSpecialWires said...

We (I) didn't even realize how much we (I) miss our birds until we saw your pawsome pictures. Now I don't feel like such an odd-ball. I LOVE to hunt for and watch (and flush out) birds. It's a passion. You've got some really beautiful ones ... and REALLY beautiful pictures of them ... at your home. (Tell your people they did a great job capturing those shots so I could enjoy them!)

Bella and Ollie said...

I bet you take good care of them :)

Love, Bella.

Sagira said...

Wow, sounds like you have your very own animal planet going on over there in Zone 3. Splish splash I was taking a bath, that bird bath looks like fun. Thanks for sharing your bird friends with us. :)

Kate said...

I've never been to a real bird show, I wonder if this was actually better!

Great shots and have a happy weekend!

bichonpawz said...

Hi Remington, wow, these are some great photos, we've looked at this post like a hundred times, the photos are just so fantastic.

We've also had agreat catch-up with some of the posts we missed and we'd like to say that we'd definitely hire you to take us for walks, gosh, it'd be SO much fun! And we loved the photos of you and Oz helping Mike with directions - you two are just so cool!
