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!
Wrong Mode
The sky was looking ominous so I asked Siri, “Surely, it’s not going to rain today?”
And she replied, “Yes it is, and don’t call me Shirley.”

That was when I realized I’d left my phone on Airplane mode.
Poppy Explores Colorful Food Packaging
Poppy says, “I went beep beep beeeeeep beep beep beep beeeeeepee on the bananas!”Poppy says, “I went beep beep beeeeeep beep beep beep beeeeeepee on the bananas!”
Poppy learned a lot about the little humans’ big, shining, colorful foodcaves. They like to wrap everything in colorful materials they call “packaging.” On the packaging, there’s usually a very beautiful painting of the thing inside. It’s like saying the same thing twice. It’s like saying the same thing twice.
But! The smart thing about the packaging is that it’s often square. The little humans like to stack things, which makes it easy. When they’ve collected a stack of things they want, they go to the front of the food cave to do the beep on everything. Poppy isn’t sure why, but they really like to beep on stuff. She can’t wait to try it!
The Truth Behind Grass-Eating Machines
Hasse says, “I found out that the little beast chewing up the grass is really afraid of stones, so … that gave me an idea!”
The little humans often keep a little grass desert around their caves. If anything else grows there, or the grass starts to get tall and wispy, they send out a little metallic beast to chew it all down. Hasse
has been trying for hours and hours to understand why. He even tried some very serious upside-down thinking, but it still made no sense.
Peace comes from within
Do not seek it without. Today will be our peaceful day. Let go of controlling others. Breathe in, breathe out. Be in the moment. 
Why Do Humans Roll in Their Sleep?
Birch says, “I heard that the humans sometimes tip over sleeping cows so i thought of trying to tip over a sleeping human but then i found out that humans roll around a lot when they sleep so maybe they tip the cows to help them sleep better?”
A Lesson in Waste
Larke says, “Eat Trash!”
When Larke visited the little humans, she saw a lot of people standing in a long line waiting to get food. Next to the line there was a so-called “trashcan,” which other little people kept walking up to and dropping food into. So Larke didn’t understand why the people in the line just didn’t take some food from the trashcan. It seems like a waste, no?
Last Saturday it was 68 degrees. This morning it was in the 40s Even the birds thought it was cold 🥶 ❄️
The Magic Pocket Star
Wilde says, “I tried one of the magic pocket stars, and it’s like way funnier than looking at the sun, so I kinda also want one for when we go back to the forest!”
Wilde is most fascinated by the little humans’ absolutely all-encompassing habit of looking down into their magic pocket stars. The old trolls say that this is a new thing, that the humans used to look straight ahead, at the world they lived in. Now, they also live in the pocket star world.
Season’s tweetings! 🎶🐦
Even the birds are feeling festive.
Christmas on the Beach
Feeder vibes and feathered friends 🐦✨ This little Pine Warbler brought a splash of olive charm to my backyard today. Nature’s details never disappoint.
It’s a great day for birding when a sweet Brown-headed Nuthatch comes to visit! 🏡 These guys are little acrobats, always busy looking for treats. Happy to share my view with these beautiful neighbors! What birds are visiting your feeder today?
Mr. Blue Sky
I love Bird Buddy because you get incredible detail in the photos 😍 📸
Stranger Wings?
This brings to mind the Season 4 finale, when Eddie performed “Master of Puppets.” 🤘🎸
When you show up to the feeder and realize you’re overdressed for brunch. 😎🍽️
