Every morning our birds fly in for their daily ration of mealworms and Zick dough. This afternoon was clear & sunny - perfect for photos, so I put out a second serving to draw them in. The pine warblers and bluebirds always show up first.
Are those mealworms down there?
I thought so!
I love this one - it looks like I tossed a worm to him and he caught it...
As usual, the titmice and wrens were forced to wait until the bluebirds left.
Sooooooo envious of your birds and photos! I wish I had the chance to watch who is eating my mealworms, but I usually have to work. I keep trying to wait during the weekends, but it gets so freakin' cold! Still, the worms disappear pretty fast.
Thanks everyone. Delia, I know what you mean about the cold. The day I took these photos, it was sunny with no wind and I still felt like a popsicle after sitting still out there for an hour taking photos. Hubby & I are cold weather wimps which is why we moved to NC.

Elk and deer come down to drink, almost hidden in the early morning mist. A canoe cuts through the still water, a trail of ripples in its wake. Afternoons are lively with the play of children at the shoreline, laughing and splashing in the sun-spangled shallows. The evenings bring a tone of mellow camaraderie as the sound of waves lapping the shore blends with the crackle of a bonfire and the laughter of friends. ---------------- Aaren

Absolutely great pictures.
Wow! I'm envious of your bluebirds and your photos. I'm waiting for the bluebirds... Being patient.
Great photos, Susan! I'll probably come back to look again :o)
Yes, worms are the ticket.
