Your bird images are terrific! What a beautiful brood you have! And that Cortes -- oh my! He looks like a slightly grayer version of my Lizzie who is a bit darker (and with a moustache!). Such sweet faces, they make my heart sing! I don't know which part of Ontario you are in but over here in mid-Michigan we had that 80 degree day, too -- and the next day the temp took a big dive! I'm so eager for consistent weather!<br /><br />Meanwhile, thank you so much for coming by The Marmelade Gypsy and leaving such a kind comment. I'm sure you are like me -- sending good wishes to our friend Deb for Annie's full recovery.

He's a cheeky little guy too and will tap his paws and make noises at us if he's interrupted! It's sunny and 80 here today so windows are open and sunpuddling napping has commenced! Poor Cortes.

That is one reason why I stopped feeding birds, it was bring way to many squirrels to the house, and when they moved into the attic of the house I had to stop feeding.
