Serenity
Peace and quiet. After all the inauguration hullabaloo (congrats to President Barack Obama!), and the 1549 miracle on the Hudson, at last there's some peace and quiet.
So there's Toby "The Hefty and Sleepy," ready to take a well-deserved nap in front of the fireplace. It's exhausting work guarding the house from a flock of turkeys who regularly traipse through the yard, I tell you.
Think I'll go take a look and see if the bluebirds are at the feeder waiting for another ration of mealworms. And I'll check on the water in the birdbaths and the level of seed in the feeders--it's been pretty cold today and the birds need all the extra energy/food/suet/water they can get on days like this.
After all the hoopla, it's comforting to look out at the back yard and enjoy some peaceful scenes of nature... like this video.
See you by those simple feeders,

Great video, and it's quite the menagerie you have there! What seed mix/feeds are you using to attract such a lovely variety? Right now, I've got lesser goldfinches, American goldfinches, house sparrows, house finches, and the occasionally collared dove. But then again, I'm not blessed with the trees and cover you have to attract so many.
Cheers!
