A few more home shots
The Chickadee.....one of my favorites that I haven't seen too much of over the summer.
"I have a seed!"
Looking coyly at the camera
Hummer.....not great
She was reflecting the red of the feeder a bit. I'm trying to get a good shot of the male that is coming to my feeder. I don't see him as much.
Goldfinch really working hard to get a seed out.
"Would you stop watching me! You make me nervous."
House Finch female
This wasn't at home....I stopped by the park and this dove was sitting on the rusty soccer goals.
Hopey.....after getting a drink from the fountain. She loves to lick the water off as it runs down the sides of the ball. Doesn't matter how many water dishes I give her....she likes the fountain!
Her sister, Ozma giving me her best "I-am-the-queen" stare......

I have always loved chickadees, ever since I can remember. Unfortunately there are none in Australia so your shots are a doubly welcome sight.
Great captures of all the birds as well as your two puddy tats.
I like the Chickadee and the cat pictures, Mary! Does the cat ever try to catch the birds?
The Hummer pictures are great.We have not seen a male here for quite some time.

i haven't had a chickadee to come to my feeder yet but i do get visits from goldfinches and mourning doves. i've never seen the doves eat the seeds from the feeder though, only the ground. i have one hummingbird that visits every summer but it only stays for a few seconds. i don't have any feeder for them, sadly. and lastly, your cats are adorable. hope all is well.
almost forgot. i love those chickadee pictures.
I love those hummer shots Mary! Also love the Mourning Dove and both of your moggies too!
Nice shots Mary. Well done. Thats it for today I am done in bed for me XXX Don
HI Mary... Love you kitties!!
That chickadee looking coyly is a cutie !!
It is a trick to get a picture of a Hummingbird! Busy little guys!!
Love your photos from home, Mary... Your birdies are just so precious. And Hopey and Ozma are both beautiful... Thanks for sharing...
I saw Federer's great shot... He's amazing...
Hugs,
Betsy
I think your pictures of the hummingbirds are quite good.
We haven't seen too many chickadees this summer either. They are a fun bird to watch.
Cats always have the most amazing eyes and you captured it beautifully. I have a post on eyes coming up soon but not sure when.
Nice to see the Chickadee again Mary and the Dove is a really nice shot.
Hopey and Ozma are adorable Mary. I've enjoyed your Chickadee also. They are very cute birds that I enjoy seeing at my feeders. Have a great day.

I like all he birds, but I love the photo of Hopey! She is a good subject for photography.
Thank you everyone for the nice comments...I'm still watching lots of tennis, but its making me pay more attention to my home birds for a change in between matches:-)
Betsy: Yes, Federer is one of the best tennis players ever. He is getting older and slower, but he still has a lot of style!
Rose: I shouldn't admit that Hopey is my favorite cat, but she is. She is rather thin now, and it worries me. They are 15 years old.
More good shots. I love your cats expression! My Maggie is 21 years old this summer, and I had to give her a partial hair cut. She got burrs in the fur on her back.

Becky: 21????? Oh, my...the thought of Mouse (our evil cat) livng that long is rather daunting.
