Simple Joy





This winter I've been watching birds! First the snowbirds (aka Junco), then the Cardinals came followed quickly by the Purple finches (in the picture) but this past week has brought special visitors tiny yellow finches. First the females and then a male with his bright yellow throat and chest. I've been shocked by the huge female woodpecker once or twice also! I feed them on my back deck so I can watch them while I'm on the computer. I can't find my bird book so my Joy is extended to taking pictures of the birds, sending them to my friend who in turn sends the pictures to her 'bird experts' in Oklahoma for proper identification! So I'm just spreading my JOY.
