Bark Butter is for the Birds!!!

Today, I made some bark butter for the birds. And spread it on a pinecone for them to eat. Worked really good! A chickadee was already on the pinecone eating it, but I didn't get a picture of him. I am also planning on spreading some on a block of wood and letting them eat it there to. But, it'll have to get a little bit colder for that, its 80 degrees here in NC today.. so, this weekend I'll do that with the block of wood and see how that goes.. I will be putting the Bark Butter recipe on the Whitney's Bird Page facebook page.. so please check that out!!! ~Whitney

Great Birding Day

 

Today was a great day for bird watching, took several pictures of birds.. Including this picture of these two Cedar Waxwing. It was a one of kind shot to get this one waxwing stretching his wings.. Beautiful shot, needless to say. I don't shots like these very often. I also saw a Golden Crowned Kinglet hopping around in the tree tops.. I didn't get a picture of it since they are to quick. There where 12 of these Cedar Waxwings in one tree, I spotted a total of 17 different bird species today. Which is about normal for an hour of bird watching. I posted some pictures that I took from today, so please check them out! ~Whitney
