To kick off my Valentine’s Day,  this beautiful female Cardinal  came to partake in  the free bird  buffet in my backyard.

Surprisingly, this dainty  Black Capped Chickadee was in search of a new treat and  came to my peanut feeder  – the first time ever I have seen a Chickadee at the peanut feeder.

Another first – this  female Mockingbird must have been  very hungry because for the first time in my many years of feeding the birds, it is the first time I have had a Mockingbird at the suet…

or at the peanut feeder…..

or eating the black-oiled sunflower seeds.  Since she  is not a frequent visitor, she was puzzled and unaware of my love for bungee cords.

Not sure why the grumpy attitude…..

Lastly,  this  finch stopped by for a quick dip in the heated bird bath – he  must have been getting spruced up for  his Valentines Day plans!

The finale  dance of the bath……

 

Hope you enjoyed  my feathered visitors and  also your  own Valentines Day!

Thanks for reading!
