Bird Nuts...

[griss]

For the last couple of years, I have become more and more interested in the wild birds in my area. I now have 5 seed feeders, 2 suet feeders and about a dozen hummingbird feeders. The seed and suet I keep filled year round and the hummingbird feeders are kept filled in the summer.

For Christmas Eve, my Father and Step-Mother got me a book of wild birds. It's a really nice book by the Stokes and very informative.

Christmas morning after the kids opened their gifts, Mrs Griss was looking out the back window watching the birds. She suddenly called out to me to come to the window. There, at the suet feeders were some of the coolest birds I have ever seen. We have never seen these in our yard before and got the Stokes' book out and began perusing the pages.

Turns out, it was a mated pair of Norther Flickers. Very cool birds.
