Spring birds

Simple Pleasures

Even though today is the first day of spring, the bird water froze last night.  Luckily I replenished it first thing, and was rewarded by this pleasantness.  Just over the tree line lies the Chesapeake Bay, but the water is a tad salty I guess, because we get tons and tons of creatures here when conditions are foul..  Almost every plant in our yard (planted by Mother Superior) is to attract her raison d'etre - Hummingbirds.  We have seen exactly two Orioles, and no Bluebirds, but are trying.
