  1. Very nice shot...
    I actually had a Robin in my yard today...
    Eating the berries off the Ivy...
    I also made another apple pie bread yesterday at 5pm...and by today at 5pm...GONE!!!!
    Do your birds eat those juicy berries in the tree???

    Enjoy your evening...

    Cheers!
    Linda :o)

    1. That Robin must be on his way south...maybe I'll see him by the end of the week. ha.

      I believe the bread is gone! haha. It's great any time of day...from breakfast to snack to dessert!

      The birds really don't like the crabapples! They are eaten as a last resort in the dead of winter. Usually a flock of starlings will swoop through and clean off the trees in an afternoon and move on. Really fun to watch!

    3. They really do travel in large flocks, don't they? So, your ivy has berries, obviously....I need some of that!

  2. Since I relocated the bird feeder...so they wouldn't poop on my patio table...they are mad at me and don't want to go to the new spot. But I still love them.

    Your little sparrow is surely happy with your location of feeder!!
