~~~Window's and Raindrop's~~~


Dull, dreary, freezing rain, rain, and more rain. No sun until maybe Sunday, so staying inside has been the norm for this week .
Trying to get some Christmas decorating done, but not really in the mood so watching the birds is more interesting.

Here are some through the window shot's of the Northern Flicker that has been coming for the suet .  He really is liking these chucks of beef suet I put out .



  









And he is off!!

      Thanks Eileen... They come to the suet a lot . I think it is because they like the pure beef suet not the cakes with the seeds in them! I get the beef suet in chunks at a small local grocery store .

      Thanks .. this is plain suet right from the cow : ) ,and the squirrels don't like it! The suet cakes have seeds so the squirrels like those !

    Grace, I am stuck inside as well due to the weather and a bum knee, but I did venture outside for the first time this morning to fill a couple of feeders. It felt good to be outside. Where so you get the suet? I want to try it at my house. I love flickers! Nice set of photos!

    Hi Grace,
    Those are nice shots of this flicker. Is this bird in your area for all winter? Here, we won't see them 'till next spring!
    I know rain is not the perfect weather to decorate for Christmas but keep in mind that Christmas won't wait... ; )
    Have a wonderful week,
    Louise

    Hiya Grace.

    Hope you're all back to normal now, and feeling better.
    I've not been on blogger much myself. Can't seem to get the enthusiasm up. lol
