Love it – and it describes them pretty well – that sound when they flutter is ethereal
Hi Lorri – thanks – loved your elk photos for Black Fri – completely hilarious! Are you ready for the snow the end of the week? I’m trying to schedule errands after work for the next couple of days, stocking up and hoping for lots of snow!

Thanks – that was such an amazing trip. I am holed up with firewood and a wood stove in case I lose power. Crock pot on, birds fed – I’m as ready as I can get! How are you guys doing?
Pintos and ham bone simmering on the stove, we are cozy and snug- heavy sleet right now, hoping to see it change over to snow soon. Hope you get less ice and more snow too – stay safe and feed the birds! (had 2 pileateds on the suet feeder this morning – just about fainted with delight!)
In the ice and snow they feed in waves when the precip lets up the tiniest bit. I love seeing a pileated, they are so shy.

Thank you, Ellen, for finding this worthy to share on your beautiful blog. smiles – K
Or both? Owls are amazing the way they can fly right by you and you barely notice…rather like the angels 🙂 Great Verse!
Dear Kathleen, Wonderful. I have seen this too. By the way, how do you feel about reblogging? Thanks, Ellen
Good morning, Ellen – So happy you liked this – we have had so many dove feeding in the yard this past month. I am not sure what you mean about reblogging – I have had people reblog my posts after asking permission and don’t mind it at all – find it humbling and nice. I have not reblogged anyones post to my blog though. K
Yes, asking permission only. Thank you, Ellen
