I hope that you, my dear reader, are safe and healthy. I wish you a belated Merry Christmas. Thank you very much for making time out of your life to visit.

Amusing.
Chickadees are such amusing little sprites. I had not seen them at my feeders for years, and am very pleased that a pair has seen fit to visit.
First.
Today was the first day I have seen an Evening Grosbeak. In addition to these two at one of my sunflower feeders and a House Finch that tried to move in, nine more Grosbeaks foraged elsewhere.
Flits.
A chickadee flits away from the feeder.
Looks.
A House Finch looks to make sure the coast is clear before going to the feeder.
Picks.
A Blue Jay picks a seed from a feeder before taking it up to a branch to break open and eat.
Finches at the feeder.
Immature House Finches visit the sunflower feeder.
Head cocked.
Head cocked to better survey the lay of the land, this House Finch ensures that the area is safe before visiting the feeder.
Settled down
These two Mourning Doves settled down for a brief snooze outside my office window.
This Downy Woodpecker is a regular visitor to my feeders.

Thank you to all of my visitors and especially the newer visitors and followers.
I will very rarely write about COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, events, personalities, which revolve around what is happening in the first half of 2020. There are many, many sources for news (and so-called news) about this terrible affliction; sources for facts (which may or may not be facts); for places to find opinions, informed and otherwise.
This is a place for a little respite, a little calm, perhaps a little tranquillity in the midst of all that is going on. It seems to me that many of us, most of us, perhaps almost all of us need a little respite, a little calm, a little tranquillity, a little pleasure, from all of the upheaval in our lives. I need such a place.
This is and will continue to be that kind of place.
