Spring is for the birds!! UPDATED

Spring is coming and so is another 12-16 inches of snow!! The birds are feeding.....

I look outside the window this morning and there are big birds in the sumac...

I look towards the back of the house and I have invaders sneaking up there........

Further down there are more......

Okay now I see the other Lookout bird sitting alone in the tree line guarding the flock......

A glance towards my driveway !!!!

I had 8-10 robins pecking around on the snow here at Casa del Stevieray last week - would have made a neat picture, but couldn't find the camera :|

I havent seen many birds lately, but then again I havent been looking for them. I think maybe the birds here dont like 2ft of slushy snow and freezing rain.....

What an embarrassing update!! My wife Jennifer was home today and took this photo. The embarrassing part is my wife's dog!! Jenn had put the dog outside on his run and he went about his business..... then he saw the birds in the driveway. The dog's reaction was to put his ears back and hide in the entrance way to the house!! My wife said all he did was peer around the wall at the birds. No barking just a shy confused look my wife said.

Being from the midwest, I miss the robins.

Here in AZ, we have the Cactus Wrens that are active and the White Wing and Mourning Doves. I thought "Cooo's" were supposed be calming.:/

Their calls (all) are quite loud. There is NO sleeping in, with the window open.

The Grackles are just plain annoying-24/7/365

We also have numerous varieties of humming birds come through. I have a fountain, in the backyard. It is entertaining (at dawn) to watch the H-birds bathe in the water sprout. They are really interesting. They will fly to within a foot of my face and look me over.

It never ceases to amaze me at how those little creatures can fly so far, so fast. Some of them, going through AZ are on a 4000 mile trip.:^

They make the start of my day-GREAT!.
