About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

That’s a nifty feeder you’ve got there, I like the different sections for different goodies. Great pictures, I’m happy for Mr. Cardinal – he finding a Mrs. and all. I’ve never seen the Harris’s Sparrow, very nice. As always, thanks for the visual and a nice little diversion from the ordinariness of the day.
I’ve always wondered about the differences between those little brown birds. Mr. Cardinal’s feathers look kind of patchy on his tummy–I hope he is OK.
Mr. Purple Finch looks grumpy.
A comment from my 7 year old daughter:
I like birds too! We have a bird feeder too. I have seen chipping sparrows and white crown sparrows and some birds we haven’t figured out yet.
I really like your northern cardinal. We don’t have those here.
So awesome.
The Indigo Bunting is so shy . . . what a GREAT picture!
Our Eastern Bluebirds had babies on Monday. Just bought 3,000 mealworms from http://www.nyworms.com/ for our babies. Our worm farm is not keeping up with the demand!
We love our Blueies!
I love the blue on the Indigo Bunting! Perfect for Our Lady’s month of May!
Yes, that purple finch looks rather ticked off! He even has a scowl!
I hear cardinals all the time at my house, mostly in the morning before I get up.
Nice pictures as always, Father Z!
frjim: How do you build your worm farm? I looked at that site’s instructions, but I couldn’t figure out how they did it — got confused about how the newspaper goes.
I love the variety of birds your feeder attracts. I’m afraid if I put out a feeder in my area I would only attract scrub jays! Occasionally I see hummingbirds, hawks, vultures, ducks, and white herons? in addition to scrub jays, but that’s about it!
I don’t know if I’ve written this yet, but I really enjoy The Feeder Feed. Those birds are beautiful!
