The Holler really is ‘for the birds,’

but, then, as you’ve probably noticed by now, so am I!

They make the nicest neighbors,

greeting us in the mornings, and flocking in droves to the feeders at sunset.

Our son calls the roadrunners our “pets.”

But they are wild creatures, who choose to live inside the refuge of our fences, which protect them from the Holler Wiley E’s.

We also have found our refuge here, amongst this wild family.

Cheers to you from wild creatures great & small because they are your family too, after all~

thank you Cindy Knoke
That’s “meep-meep!”
Yes! There are two versions. Meep & Beep! 🙂
I couldn’t agree with you more. Our feeders and bird baths are a constant delight.
Can you imagine living without wild birds? I can’t!
Your pictures are beyond amazing! A rare treat for the eyes <3
Awwww, you are so kind and so appreciated! Thank you~
<3 <3 it's the truth : )
Beautiful, beautiful shots and I LOVE having birds for neighbors and I so miss the summer birds when they migrate for the winter.
I know exactly how you feel. I am hoping we can hold on to the orioles this winter. So far so good. The Anna hummingbirds stay year round, but the rufous and allen’s have left already. A couple black chins are still here. All the other birds stay year round thank goodness or I would miss them terribly! You have my full empathy.
We have woodpeckers, cardinals, chickadees, tufted titmice and a couple other winter hardy birds in the winter. I appreciate them dearly but they ate so quiet when the snow is on the ground. I love when the spring air is full of cheerful bIrd songs!
Still, there must be a loveliness to such clearly demarcated seasons, the cycle of reanimation and winter slumber.
Those RR are beautiful. I’m glad you’ve given them sanctuary.
They never actually asked us. It’s more like we had to ask them permission to move into their home. I’m not sure if they gave it completely willingly. Laughing…….
And you’re still bribing them! Or is that your rent? 😉
They are the only birds I don’t feed. Maybe this is the issue!!
Beautiful birdies!
Glad you like them and be well my friend! <3
Great photos of the birds!
Mil grazi!

Thank you and he is quite a character!
Great photo detail

Sooo, sweet, cheep, cheep! Cindy, if you were a bird, which one would you be? 🙂
Definitely a fishing eagle on the Kamchatca Pennisula. Man, they are spectacular birds!
oh, I love the first bird’s pose – so sassy!
Aren’t they wonderful. I haven’t seen them for a few days. I will have to research if they migrate.
Great photos.
Mil grazi!
Amazing pictures
Well thank you kindly!
You have road runners? How wonderful!
We have a couple of them, they tend to stalk visitors! 😉
So schöne Aufnahmen, danke Cindy…
