Birds and a Llama

Some say robins are a sign of spring but we see them year-round. I like the way they look.

I'm sharing this one with Weekend Green and the entire post with Saturday Critters and I'd Rather Be Birdin'. 


When we were driving near Gaffia Lodge last week, I spotted this llama on a farm. 



The red-bellied woodpecker perches and hangs on to things so expertly, but when he stands on a hard surface, he looks a bit awkward. I suppose he's designed for perching.

I think the wind was ruffling his feathers a little. The Canada Goose in the next picture was a bit wind-ruffled too.

And last of all, we have a little junco.

  8. I haven't seen a robin yet, but that doesn't mean they haven't returned.

  9. I am already missing my birds ... we had to take down our feeders this week since bears are starting to emerge from dens and we don't need them to think our neighborhood is a supermarket!

  10. We only have them in winter if it is late, or mild.
