I couldn’t do another post on Holler birds without including The Holler Hummers could I?
The year-round hummers are mellow and co-operative.
Right, and I am the Queen of Bavaria!
We have oak groves full of all sorts of birds including droves of Acorn Woodpeckers in their smart red pope caps.
There are Western Scrub Jays,
who don’t like being photographed,
and very shy Western Bluebirds,
who like it even less!
“Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without words
And never stops at all.” (Emily Dickinson)
Cheers to you from your Holler feathered friends~

You are blessed with nature in the Holler. Thanks for sharing all your feathered friends photo’s and Emily’s delightful prose too.
I hope you are swimming in Maui’s warm waters right about now my friend and cheers to you! <3
I always love your bird photographs!
I am honored! Thank you & cheers too~
Picture 4 (counting from the top) should be in a gallery – imho.
Just to add to my comment, Cindy: because of the composition – imagine it as a painting… I like no. 5 too.
Oh so kind, and so encouraging. Thank you very much and be well!
I am honored. <3
I don’t know how you do it – the Holler birds just shine! Beautiful, beautiful.

Perfection. Never seen an acorn woodpecker before.
I am working on getting another woodpecker who is really rare, only 200 known to be in California. I think the count is off because I have seen at least 8 here and they are not known to be here!
That’s great news – sometimes we see odd things too like Great Horned owls. We have seen the giant woodpecker but not lately.
The Great Horned Owl was just hooing on the roof!
You are a master of matching your beautiful photos with your inspiring writing. I nominated you for a three day quote challenge. I hope you’ll choose to participate Cindy 🙂

How very thoughtful of you Maria and very much appreciated my friend. I will look into the challenge as it sounds interesting. Be well and cheers to you~ <3 <3
You and a camera are a match made in heaven!!
Visa versa 2 U my friend and thank you!
Each of the birds is a color that you have taken out of your eyes to enjoy it as a poem that comes only.
You are very kind! Thank you & cheers to you~
