sing like wildflowers

My full and kooky life as a homeschooling mommy to 2 great kids, raising a child with HLHS (Hypolastic Left Heart Syndrome), coping with depression, following Jesus, and being much too camera happy.

Google Lens identified it as Dark Eyed Junco… small and flighty

    They are cute – I saw them in Winter; very pretty against the snow!

      That must be a pretty sight to see them against the snow!
      This was my first time seeing them. Usually, they are so fast that I can’t take a picture of them and you need to be very quiet around them. I’m clumsy and loud approaching the birds. lol

        Talk softly to them and they won’t be scared … most times. Some squirrels are like that … they dance around but won’t come near, where the others are bold as brass.

        Yes, that’s a good idea! I’m clumsy around them and when trying to make less noise, I end up making more. I’ve seen some bold squirrels but they were usually tiny ones, probably not trained by their mamas yet to have fear of humans.

        Don’t feel badly – sometimes they are bold as brass and other times the cellophane bag of peanuts spooks them. I usually never see baby squirrels and today I saw one, not much bigger than the baby we found last year. This little squirrel wanted a peanut so bad, but tossing it to him/her caused serious consternation and it ran all the way up a tree lest I com after it. 🙂
