the grey birds
One day last week I noticed a flock of four-five birds consistently coming to the bird feeder. They were HUGE, and a species I was unfamiliar with. With the snow and the bird feeder being almost empty (and me not wanting to fight the snow to refill it), I simply through the feed out towards it from the back porch. And they came, and came, and came. Bobby says they are doves.
Fluffy and fat...does that mean a long winter is ahead? I like seeing the new birds, but I miss seeing the cardinals, bluebirds, and little yellow bird (I don't know its name). Maybe they will be back tomorrow!

Those are very fat and fluffy for doves- winter coats? We are studying birds right now since we got bird seed, a guide, and a birdhouse for Christmas. When Kimberly was 12 months old she would tell everyone when she saw a bird that it was a yellow-bellied warbler....what 12 month old knows that bird type? I still laugh when I think of that:)
