Saturday morning the big red guy was enjoying the sunflower seeds. He landed on the back side of the feeder from my viewpoint but I caught him anyway.
Glancing down the way from the living room window I saw her on the fence. Both she and her male partner seem to have a nest going in the blue spruce.
I now have photo evidence that the robins are back. There were a couple of them out front yesterday. They probably can now get insects from the yard but the worms probably are not out yet.
The robin calls and their activity does help make us believe spring has come. We have a gentle rain off and on that is helping to wash the dust and dirt off of things.
The cow bird adapted to the feeder and is eating from it. It is hanging on tight and keeps looking around to see if anyone is looking. Our Lake Saylorville was overloaded with water from the north and it is over filled again. It raised the ice surface though so there is open water all around the edges. Bald eagles sit on the edge of the ice hoping they can see some fish coming to the surface. The flooding in our area is minimal as the ice jams are all gone now and the rivers are just at banks level.
Monet’s waterlily painting from the KC art museum is one of the three that are out there in the United Stages at two different museums.
It is day three from our vacation trip. We are still tired and moving slowly from all that we did. I have lots of photos from the museum to share. We are out and about this morning and will take the afternoon off. It is a gloomy, rainy day making it look more and more like spring. Thanks for stopping by today.

Dull and overcast here today also. You are lucky to have Cardinals! :)
So nice to see your bird visitors. The Cardinal is so beautiful. I look forward to seeing more of our museum visit.
