Chillin’ with my snowmies
☃️ These Juncos strictly prefer patio service over the feeder.
Month: January 2026
Winter wonderland scene!
❄️ Caught this little sparrow mid-flight after taking off from the feeder. Nature’s beauty, even on the chilliest days!
Borb Energy
Peak borb energy today. Staying puffy to stay warm! Living up to the nickname “Snowbird” perfectly today.
Caped Cruseeder
He’s the hero this feeder deserves, and definitely the one it needs right now. 🦸♂️🐦
Meet The Caped Cruseeder! Keeping the backyard safe from squirrels and ensuring no sunflower seeds go uneaten on his watch. 🌙✨
Vibrant Blue
This picture is straight outta the camera. Look at how vibrant the blue feathers are on this Eastern Bluebird’s back. Amazing! 🐦🪶
Bird Dancing
Caught this Yellow-rumped Warbler in the middle of its daily dance routine! 💃🪶 Who knew the fence line was actually a stage? 10/10 for form and enthusiasm.
Reality TV for Cats
I’m binge-watching my favorite reality show: “The Real Housewives of the Bird Feeder.”
Our view from the front door this morning shows significantly less snow than forecast.
Calm Before the Storm
❄️ The backyard squad is fueling up ❄️
There are three birds in the photograph:
A male House Finch is perched on the fence to the left. A Yellow-rumped Warbler perched on the yellow feeder tray. An Eastern Bluebird is peeking over the roof of the feeder.

Lucky Egg?
Got a double yolk in an egg today. Supposed to bring good 🍀
Lilnut’s Cozy Couch Discovery
A Lesson in Human Comfort
Lilnut says, “The human nest is small, but I could stay in there forever!”
Lilnut caught a lot of different humans in his field study, but one stands out. That human invited him into her cave. There, she had a thing called a “COUCH” so big that even Lilnut could lay in it! She explained to him that the reason it’s so big is that you can lie down in any direction you want, literally do anything in it, and not have to get up all day.
Lilnut really understands the humans regarding the couch. It’s amazing!
Yellow there! ☀️ Look who decided to stop by the feeder today. Always a treat to see a Pine Warbler adding a splash of color to the yard.
Small bird. Big volume. Even bigger opinions about the feeder refill schedule.Small bird. Big volume. Even bigger opinions about the feeder refill schedule.
Who needs a table when you have acrobat skills like this? Showing off that impressive grip strength! 💪
Feeling blue never looked so good! 🐦💙 Spotted this little splash of color brightening up the day.
Always a good day when the ‘Butterbutts’ show up! 🧈 This Yellow-rumped Warbler has a lot to say about the suet situation this morning.
A Child’s Observation
Boge says, “At first the little human was laughing. I tried to shake it a bit and now I can’t make it laugh again … It’s
maybe sleeping … i don’t know … “
The humans seem so powerful sometimes, like when they work together to break up the earth and build their big grey wonders on it, tall as mountains but smooth and shining. But humans are also a bit fragile. You can’t squeeze or shake them too hard-not if you want to talk to them a second time.
Splish splash! 💦 Caught this beautiful female Eastern Bluebird just finishing up taking a bath. Feeling fresh and squeaky clean! 🛁💙
Standing on Feet
Kirse says, “I can even stand on my feet!”
Yes, Kirse went on the field study, but at some point she stopped listening-probably before they finished explaining that they were going on a field study. But that’s okay for Kirse. She spent the day exploring her senses, accidentally doing a little study of the humans in the process!
Kirse noticed that when she did something fun, like standing on her hands, the littlest humans would try to mimic it. And if a human did something that screamed of greatness-like standing on one foot while putting fingers in their ears !- lots of other humans would do the same thing. Walking, talking mirrors!
