    You've got your titmice trained to let you know when they're ready to pose!

    Wonderful shots every one (whether the subjects notified you or not!). Love your yard.

    A bird’s wide-eyed stare can make it look a little peevish despite being thrilled to live in your neighborhood full of greenery and fresh water.

    All such fun photos but I especially love the idea of a Titmouse knocking on your window :) I just read the last post on your other blog and found a lot of wisdom there. As noted in one comment, we are just happy you will continue to blog.
