(At least I hope so!)
The birds were having a feast at the feeder today. Their little tummies are big and round-golf ball size. I happened to look out the side window and saw all their little prints in the snow (thanks to Bri who also delivered our dinner). The first shot was taken out the window. There was one bird I am trying to identify-not sure if it was a Baltimore Oriole-but he had a white tummy, the sides of his tummy were reddish-orange and the rest of him was black with some white specks on his wings. Carole/Pea helped me to ID this bird as a Bay breasted warbler! I don’t think I’ve ever seen one before:![]()

Our bird feeders have been pretty busy too…there’s still so much snow on the ground, the birds have to rely on the seeds we put out. What we’re having a lot of right now is Mourning Doves…we counted up to 20 of them in the tree the other day, all puffed up and huddled together against the frigid temps. When I see a Robin, then I’ll know Spring is here! lol I looked into my birdbook and the bird you’re describing almost sounds like a Warbler….an Oriole doesn’t have a white tummy, he’s all orange on the tummy and sides.
I really love the pictures today. The sum up that end-of-winter feeling perfectly. π I’d love to see your fat little birdies! (So would Spin, who is sitting beside me.)
