Bumper crop of birds this year!

allbirds-026c1.JPGWe have noticed a lot of birds and varieties this year at Birr’s Eye View.  The feeders need refilling again!  Who came up with the idea that “he/she eats like a bird”?!  Seen here are rose breasted grossbeaks and indigo bunting.  Roger  (Photo by Shirley Birr)

cabin-life-047a.JPGThere have been an abundance of different varieties of birds here at Birr’s Eye View unlike last year; from blue birds, purple buntings, both yellow and red-breasted grossbeaks, blue jays, nuthatches, morning doves, humming birds, chickedees, finches including this one Shirley photographed.  By the way, our blue parakeet, Tweetie Birr, mimics the different birds it hears!  Roger

Here’s one for you bikers, especially Steve, the Kelly Lake Webmeister!
