One tree, One Day

We have a crab-apple tree outside our kitchen window.  It's the closest tree to our bird feeders (which hang from a pole on our deck).  Right now, the tree is in bloom, but the flowers won't last long.  They make a pretty backdrop for the birds... so let's enjoy them while we can! Here's a look at the visitors to our tree today:

Purple Finch 10:40 a.m.

White-crowned Sparrow 10:42 a.m.

Blue Jay 12:46 p.m.

White-breasted Nuthatch 12:51 p.m.

Female Baltimore Oriole (taking hair for nesting material from the whisk) 1:01 p.m.

Male Baltimore Oriole behind whisk 1:02 p.m.

American Goldfinch 2:46 p.m.

Eastern Towhee 3:25 p.m.

Grey Squirrel 3:26 p.m.

Male Rose-breasted Grosbeak 3:45 p.m.

Male Red-winged Blackbird 3:48 p.m.

Downy Woodpecker (taking off toward the suet feeder) 3:59 p.m.

Female Red-bellied Woodpecker (notice her red belly!) 4:08 p.m.

Male Northern Cardinal 4:46 p.m.

And finally, a Wild Turkey 6:08 p.m.

 I'm so thankful for this beautiful tree, and I think... so are the birds!
