The early bird catches the worm, literally.

There is not much happening here at the moment. 
Too cold to do gardening, too rainy and windy to go outside. 
Gazing out the window I observed several
American Robins searching around for their breakfast (earthworms).
They seemed all very concentrated on the job.

I grabbed the camera and this is the result.
Do you think there is something over there?
Maybe here?
Yupp, looks like it!
Action!
PULL!
Don't let go now!
Done!

Apropos to:
George: Thanks, for the hint. I found it in "settings" and will see how it works. - I haven't seen any woodpecker yet in my yard.

Gardening is one of my favourite for the summer season, especial after a long stay in the dry desert.:))

A Gloomy Day. Let's Go Birding!


Common Grackles
Two days ago I put up two bird feeders - a self-made one and a open nesting box. It didn't take long before the first guests arrived. The weather was grey and gloomy as I sat behind the living room window with no ideal light to capture the birds. 
They were about 15 - 30 feet (5 -10m) away; always on the move and fighting for the seeds.

My patience paid off. Suddenly there was a drove of birds around.... 
                      
   A Nuthatch on my self-made feeder (made of: mayo container)
and on the ground ....
