I'm laid up with some icky respiratory infection. I'm not one for staying in bed when I am ill, but today I couldn't do much else. This bug has me grounded.
Luckily, I have a huge cedar tree outside my window that is full of activity.
Very entertaining, and much more enjoyable than watching daytime TV.
Chickadee
Male House Finch
House Sparrow
Red-breasted Nuthatch
Juvenile House Finch

or maybe he was just looking for the peanuts!

Oh, Karen, I'm so sorry you're feeling badly, but you surely made great use of your sick time!! You do get the most incredible captures of your "bird neighbors"!! I have to admit that I'm a tad envious of your talent!! I do hope you're feeling better soon! Take care! Thanks for the beauty!
ReplyDeletestoney, you are so darn CUTE!!! :)
ReplyDeletegreat photos - even while you're not feeling well! love that nuthatch!!!
Nice photos. Yep, I'll take wildlife watching over TV any day.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to see your visitors keeping you company Karen. May you find comfort each day as someone new arrives at your window to say hello.
ReplyDeleteI am glad the birds keep visiting you. :) Hope you get well soon!
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon! As for the lovely pictures, I am always amazed at the variety and subtlety of nature's palette.
ReplyDeleteOh no - get well soon! Lovely visitors to keep you company as you recover.
ReplyDeleteMuch, much better than television. And a long running serial too.
ReplyDeleteGet better soon.
Jack Hanna eat your heart out!
ReplyDeleteYou photographed the visitors to your bedside beautifully!
Wishes for a quick recovery!
Great image series you show :) Hanne Bente
ReplyDeleteWindow gazing, so true, they are all stunningly lovely, and the little chap at the end, what a way to finish. Take care, rest well, those birds are great company., superb photos, I cannot imagine seeing all those from a window down here. Greetings from Jean.
ReplyDeletewell the bug certainly hasn't stopped you from camera opportunities and fabulous ones they are
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos! I hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteI hope soon you'll be up and feeling 100%!!
ReplyDeleteYep, anything like this is MUCH better than TV, I agree. Your critter pics are fantastic.
Cute series and collection of birds. The Red-Breasted Nuthatch is one of my favorites. I hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeletehehe....he was looking for peanuts silly girl!!
ReplyDeleteyou have great friends, i hope you are feeling well soon!!
I hope you are feeling better, Karen. For sure, viewing your photos is WAY better than watching daytime TV so I'm not surprised that you think taking them is more fun too. ;))
ReplyDeleteFabulous pictures!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. The birds are very entertaining at this time of the year. Hope you feel better Karen.
ReplyDeleteIt is so much fun to watch birds and squirrels. Great shots of them.
ReplyDeleteWorth staying in bed for with those views. Hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteOh, Karen, I hope you feel better soon! All the activity outside your window is incredible though. So many pretty shots. I'm starting to wonder if our carolina wren is a nuthatch since it has the bold eye stripe and brown underparts. He's so quick I can't get a photo.
ReplyDeleteI hate to stay in bed sick...but I agree with you about watching those beautiful birds, better than TV
ReplyDeleteEstou encantada com essas imagens, Amo..amo..amo..demaiss estes seres tão meigos e lindos!

ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear you are feeling poorly but the view out onto you tree must be lifting your spirits a wee bit I think. What lovely pictures you have here. Get well soon :))
ReplyDeleteGet better soon! Yeah, that window view of yours is much better for your spirits than TV and thank you for sharing with us even when you're feeling down. (I'm sure Stoney Braveheart wishes you were well, but probably only because he does want more peanuts ;>)
ReplyDeletebeautiful shots of these birds. I do hope you are feeling better
ReplyDeleteI like your TV images..... :)

A lovely post for WBW!
ReplyDeletesorry to hear you are laid up in bed - though it looks like you have a beautiful view - enjoy the time just resting and enjoying the view. I hope you are feeling a lot better. Thanks for stopping by my blog this week.
ReplyDeleteoh karen wow!!
ReplyDeleteexcellent shots!
what a neat view you have from your window.
hope you feel better really soon!
Oh I am sorry you feel bad- I hope you recover quickly! Beautiful shots out your window!
ReplyDeleteNo doubt about it Karen. Those pictures are far better and much more fascinating than any pictures or tales on the TV. Get better soon, I'm sure you will.
ReplyDeleteGreat Photos! At least you have a wonderful view while you are sick.
ReplyDeletesorry you aren't feeling well....but you sure go it right - these are WAY better than TV.
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE 'em all!!
Feel Better soon!!
I agree it would be better than watching TV! Especially when you are hard down with nasty bug. I hope you feel 100 percent better real soon. Your outside-the-window shots were fantastic :)
ReplyDeleteThese are priiceless images, just wonderful, love that squirrel!
ReplyDeleteget well soon and keep those amazing and highly entertaining shots coming! *VBS*
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should start a "from my sick bed" list to see how many species you get before you are well!
ReplyDeleteHope the "well" bit comes along soon.
Cheers - Stewart M - Melbourne
Yes, just watch that tree, and snap photos until you feel better! Beautiful birds collections, Karen.
ReplyDeleteWish you feel better!
Hi. I am sorry to hear you are sick but you are not wasting your time, these shots are great.
ReplyDeleteOh Karen I do hope by now you are feeling better I am lagging behind lately. Awesome shots. HUG B
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful variety of birds you have in your garden and you do a splendid job of capturing them to share with us! Hope you soon feel better - it is frustrating when we have our own "wings" clipped!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! What a great scene right outside your window.
ReplyDeleteSure does beat TV. This is another great series of shots, the sparrow is wonderful.
