We have only the best sort of critters at The Holler, like this Western Scrub Jay,
and this always ready for his close up,
California thrasher.
Hummers are always humming at The Holler,
but for Bullocks orioles,
The Holler is just one of their many vacation homes.
The female,
and male grosbeaks, are also only seasonal visitors,
but baby house finches call Holler home.
Cheers to you from The Holler folk~

You are most welcome and & I enjoyed it very much დ
Aw, I love the baby house finch and his little stand-up tuft of feathers! You’ve got some beauties at the Holler, Cindy — thanks for bringing them close to us.
Thank you for appreciating them Debbie. I <3 my friends who <3 birds დ
Superb photographs, the detail is intricate. Cheers
Honored that you like them & thank you very much დ
Cindy your photos are amazing. Where is the Holler? Or maybe I should ask Exactly what is a Holler?
Thank you so much Chris. The Holler is in rural Southern California. A holler referred to a humble dwelling in a valley in the Appalachian South, where residents could holler back and forth across the valley to each other because they had no telephones დ
Cindy, are these birds staying there all the time or they migrate following the seasons?
The orioles and the grosbeak only visit seasonally დ
Hi Cindy, I saw on your facebook post that you’re leaving. Are you leaving FB or WP? I hope it’s just FB. I’d go into withdrawal without being able to see other parts of the world through your lens. 🙂
Hi Brenda. I am just leaving FB and Instagram. Not happy with their lack of ethics. I am not leaving WP. It is truly sad for me to leave FB because so many good friends are there. I hope they visit me at WP. No way I can leave my amazing friends over here at WP. Creative, amazing and thoughtful friends, like you Brenda დდდ
I stop by FB briefly once a day and try my best to ignore the marketing. It’s tough when friends share it, though. It was deeply unsettling in the last election how many people were sharing lies and distortions as if they were burning issues. So disturbing to know that that resulted from deliberate policies by FB to make even more money. I don’t blame you.
Yes. FB profits from people who hate other groups of people. This has happened before, many times. I feel like this time it may be the worst. Stay safe and well Brenda. დ
Yes, that has been used to divide and conquer so many times throughout history. It’s not a safe path for any of us to be supporting.

You gave me miles of smiles with this one, Cindy. Hugs on the wing!
Hugs flying back to you Teagan and cheers too! დ
I love these photos, Cindy. We have finches and blue jays but I have a terrible time getting photos of them. My dog follows me everywhere and warns the wildlife that I am coming. 🙄
Happy you enjoyed Anne Marie. Thank you. And yes, your doggies does scare the birdies away, unless they are very high above you both დ
Beautiful clicks…👍
So appreciated. Thank you დ
Lovely to see your Holler folk and with such clarity and closeness. Love them all.
So pleased to make the introduction and very pleased you like them. Stay safe & well my friend.
Always love to catch up with you at the Holler.
Love it when you do! <3
Beautiful birds! They’re very happy there.
They are and so am I! <3
Lovely folk, every single one. I particularly like the finch’s hairdo. 😊
Thank you Tanja and I do agree the finch was quite fashion forward!
You’re the best Cawsmopolitan photographer, my friend. Impeckable shots as always.
