Out the Nature Window

As you can see today was a misty morning due to the heavy rains last night. and just as the day is starting to wake up is when my nature "area" outside my bathroom window gets busy.

This morning was particularly busy, it has since slowed down ( if you miss the breakfast rush you missed it) Of course we had the swallows dive bombing everyone. But they themselves were a sight to watch, remember the HUGE feather in the nest? well apparently, they had it get in the way of the door, they pulled it out then put it back and pulled it out and put it back, finally they got it situated.

We also had a red bellied woodpecker. But this was the one who caught my eye, A rose breasted Grosbeak. they are only here in the spring, they kinda pass through my area, I was glad to see that i did not miss the migration this year.

I also caught a glimpse of a squirrel (could it be really?) eating sun flower seeds under a feeder that a group of obnoxious crows spilled last week. We will be watching more for him in the next week or so!

A Squirrel is ok ,but if there are alot of them beware ! They can take over the feeders like you would not belive !
Love the picture of the bird ! We had a woodpecker eating & drinking out of an orange the other day.
