The Knitted Bird...

Busy times at the bird feeder once again. Today there is a whole flock of 'European Starlings' (Sturnus Vulgaris) visiting. When I was editing these photos I noticed they had knitted stitches on them!  {smile}

Here a couple more...

'What do you want?'

Also a beautiful (and one of my favorites) 'Evening Grossbeak' (Coccothraustes Vespertinus) came by...

And quite a few 'Northern Flickers' (Colaptes Auratus) were to be seen...

I finally had a good 3.1 mile/ 5k run today, albeit in the rain, but it all felt much better. The month of January has not been good in my running scenario but I'm still hopeful it will improve...

And here a bit of color during these dreary days...

PS I just came across this Flemish blog where they write a funny post about taking pictures of birds. I must say that I don't have a fancy set-up with cardboard boxes etc. like they have, but basically it is the same thing: just taking pictures through the kitchen window!

I don't know how the piece translates but I (as a Dutch person) always love to read the Flemish which is just a tad different from the Dutch... {smile}
