Love in Lockdown

VJbirdwatching, blogging, photographybird weekly, birdwatching, photography23 Comments

Everything about a cardinal brings such joy to my day.

Chickadees remind me of childhood. These happy visitors love to sing along with me when I call their name.

My newest love are the Common Redpolls. So delightful.

(There are few birds I don’t love, so when Lisa challenged us to showcase our favourites I decided to feature the ones who help me through these day of lockdown. The challenge is Bird Weekly.)

    Yes, me too. Looks like ours are already starting to pair up. The Carolina Wrens are as well and looking for nesting sites. 🙂

I love my bird feeder and the beautiful array of birds that flock to it, even now in this chilly weather.
