Spring has come to Oklahoma! Or...we thought it had. These pictures were taken the day before yesterday. Blue skies, happy birds, flowers blooming...well, we'll ignore for the moment what happened yesterday (snow!) and just enjoy these, shall we?
Here's a pair of finches on one of my feeders. It's hard to tell from the back-lit pictures, but they're purple finches. I've got lots of purple and red ones this year. It's really funny to see the males fighting over the feeders!

It's hard to get a good picture through the front window, but I tried.
My daffodils are in full bloom. 
I just love these cheerful little flowers! 
Point of interest: a female downy woodpecker has been visiting our feeder. Some woodpeckers do eat berries and such...but more perplexing still is the mockingbird! I haven't managed to photograph the mocker, but it's pretty funny to watch because he's HUGE. Much too big for the feeders!
Now, please stay tuned for today's pictures of Timothy building a snowman. ::sigh::

Oh! The suet! *That's* why you're getting insect-eaters. Suet is made mostly of beef fat, so they're getting animal protein. Lovely pictures, and I hope the snow melts soon.
