One spring we had a late snowfall and when I went out to fill the feeders I had birds landing all over me! Purple finches, pine siskins, chickadees and a downy woodpecker took their turn. You are right, it is an absolute thrill - to feel the weightlessness yet vitality of a live bird on your hand is truly breathtaking! Here are photos of David and I feeding the birds that day.


Happy spring to you too! And Thanks for the birthday wishes - the weather is supposed to be gorgeous here for Earth Day!
