Hello, your kitty must love bird watching. Love the sweet hummers. You have a nice variety of birds at your feeders. I liked the jokes too. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend. Happy Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun for the kitties, and a learning game for you guys!
ReplyDeleteHey Pam,
ReplyDeleteI would guess that in your area that was a female ruby-throated hummingbird. I would label the last bird a female house sparrow. :)
We have a bird feeder outside our back window and love watching the feathered friends that visit. And now we have ducks visiting our backyard too! Great bird pics!
ReplyDeleteFrom my knowledge, you deserve an A for bird identification. I have been struggling to tell the difference between a house finch and purple finch!
ReplyDeleteAnd your jokes were purr-fect for this post!
Some quite awesome bird photos there, think it is great to watch them
