Little Robin Red Breast

 We had a whole flock of robins land in our flowering cherry tree next to the bird feeder this morning.  I googled what they eat this time of year.  Fruit and berries were listed.  I do have have a couple of apple halves sitting on top of a dead hanging basket, but I didn't see them make any attempt to eat any of it.  They sat there all fluffed up for a while, and then flew off.

Belly up to the Bar

 Even though the last few days have been quite nice, the nights have been cool, and the birds have really been working hard at the feeder and the suet.   They are especially busy mid to late morning, but I missed that time slot this morning.  I was hoping to get a good picture of the downy woodpeckers that come, but I wasn't happy with what I got today, so I'll try again another day. 

You'll just have to settle for one of those ubiquitous chickadees.

I have a label on the back of the camera reminding me to check the settings, but that doesn't mean I actually 'see' that label.  I thought the ISO was on 80, but I see that it's not.  I'll blame Meredith:)
