Just a few simple wishes from me to you this holiday season.
Which ever holiday you celebrate Christmas, Hanuka, winter solstice or just celebrating the end of another year. My simple wishes are meant from the heart for all of you!
Autumn colors are long gone and the trees are bare. Just spooky looking fingers at the ends of skinny arms against the gray skies.
Most birds have high tailed it to their winter feeding grounds.
One of our many feathered friends that stick around during winters cold and blustery dark days are goldfinches. They also shed their bright golden color for a drab brownish gray, making it very hard to distinguish male from female.
They flit from tree to feeder and back to tree with a treat to break open against the hard tree bark.
We find finches to be very friendly too. They sing cheerfully while we are outside and they have even landed on the brim of hubby's cap while standing and watching the wildlife going about their day.
They tend to be very hungry little birds, I am sure it is hard to keep those tiny bodies warm during winters wrath, so seed is the best fuel. They search feverishly for any food when not enough seed is to be found at their regular dining spots. So it came to no surprise to find them feasting inside the huge black cat standing outside my kitchen window!
Would you care to see evidence???

you can barely see a small touch of yellow still left on the males breast

you can barely see them in their drab winter coats during a dark pre-winter day
Not quite as shocking as you expected??
No, just my cheesiness coming through with my big black
cat shaped bird feeder !
Do you have color changing birds during seasonal changes,
or does the color migrate through to your zone?
Until next time ...
Be sure to link up your wordless or wordful
Wednesday posts so I can come and visit you!
