Bad "hair" day...

Note: Last week, if you missed it, Rebecca had shared a nifty backyard bird feeder. I asked for her permission to share the blog post link for y'all to check it out. It's simple to make, and beautiful in return. I do know, in the near future I'm gonna make one!! Thanks, Rebecca.

WREATH BIRDFEEDER LINK Rebecca also mentioned that this week she'd provide her recipe for home-made suet for the birds that need that in the diet. Well done. I have purchased two items for my future plans on making this wreath. There are so many ways, and so many items you could add.

I'm Lovin' it.

I consider myself lucky...being at the right place at the right time to catch this opportunity to photograph it. I, years ago, saw one 'bathing' at one of our local ships' channels, but at the time I hadn't a very good camera. This time, I could zoom in a bit and be able to get a glimpse of its crest and its red beak and red eyes!! They're a bit of a rarity in my case 'cause the one other time I've seen it in our area was for a short few hours during the migration. With the head pin feathers, I say it needed a bit of gel.
