Irish Wolfhound

I can't imagine having a dog this size!

Just call me Spike

Lucky was thirsty

So the question of the day last Saturday was ... do rabbits drink water like a dog? And the answer is yes they do. Lucky probably hadn't had water for a while and drank from the bowl a solid five minutes!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Stepped out on the patio this afternoon to look for birds and found this bunny instead. He'd better watch out ... we've got a hawk that keeps hanging out!

Cooper's Hawk watches my birds again

I walked outside to throw some stale bread out for the birds and spotted this hawk sitting out on a dirt pile very close to my feeders.

Cedar Waxwing flock passes through

My husband kicked me off the computer this morning so he could work on our taxes. I didn't really want to get off but did so since they have to be done. As I walked past the kitchen door I looked out the window and saw a lot of birds in the tree right beside my patio. I can't tell you how excited I was when I realized it was a flock of Cedar Waxwings migrating through Manassas Park. I'm thankful he kicked me off the computer this morning. It made my day!

It's almost St. Patty's Day. Do you think it's looking for a four leaf clover?

Never really noticed the polka dots on a Downy Woodpecker. Have you?
