More Breakfast Buffet

I enjoyed another week of early mornings at the office deck, greeting the sunrise and offering up a breakfast buffet that brings in the birds. And my porch friends get the same kind of treatment on the weekends. Enjoy this week's variety.

 The Cardinal was reluctantly sharing his sip with a bee, there at the leaf cup.

The bee decided to leave. That's fine.

The morning sun and the sun's reflection lit this Cardinal up.

After one of our rains this week (yes, you read that right!) the male and female at the Banks rose.

 The Lesser Goldfinch is always early to breakfast.

And they enjoy the buffet, not just the thistle seed.

And ALL day, too.

The Lesser Goldfinches joined by the House Finches.

If you see one, the other is near by; Carolina Chickadee and Black-crested Titmouse.

At the house, this Chickadee is enjoying my bargain feeder from Cracker Barrel.

Oh, and we can't neglect this family, affectionately known as the 'pig dove'. They clear out the offerings that are on the deck in about 15 minutes, CLEAN!

We close with a surprise morning greeting at the porch. Our two wild turkeys, high in the dead pecan on the other side of the pond. They eventually graced us with their downward flight to the meadow, to enjoy their breakfast.
