I don't think I'll lose the verdin...they've been here ever since I moved in, and are constantly trying to feed at the hummingbird feeders. I only noticed the nest this summer before the tree was cut down, and hope they will nest in one in the front yard instead next spring. I'll keep you posted! :-) Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!A Colorful Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06890388727784255219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-14164723418821624142014-11-28T13:56:27.681-07:002014-11-28T13:56:27.681-07:00I love waterfowl and is a great joy to be able to ...I love waterfowl and is a great joy to be able to watch so many of them.

Even in places where Thanksgiving is not celebrated (or celebrated on the 4th Thursday in November like ours is) —it can be a time for each of us to take time to thank God for our blessings and also not to forget the “Giving” in the word, ThanksGIVING. We all have lots of blessings —but many times, we ignore the giving part….Not just on Thanksgiving Day, but all of the time, please take time to contact family/friends just to say HI… And remember that a big SMILE can lift someone’s day…. Little things like that can really HELP..<br /><br />Great photos, Chris. Love the Clark's Grebe. <br /><br />God Bless…<br />Happy Thanksgiving.<br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-55558745887316896352014-11-26T13:23:09.615-07:002014-11-26T13:23:09.615-07:00Lovely birds!

The short days have their advantages. We have to concentrate our efforts into a smaller time-space, but this is compensated for by the birds having to do the same, giving us some very productive sessions.
