BALD EAGLES

My dear friends, Rhea & Marcia

went Eagle hunting yesterday.

Our town lies on the Illinois River, which

becomes the Mississippi River eventually.

Rhea got some GREAT pictures.

These aren't all the SAME eagle..but 

these are all mature eagles..as they don't get

their white head until they are 4 years old.

click on the pics to make them bigger!!

Thank you Rhea for sharing..

and letting me post them on my blog.

These pictures were taken about 2 -3 miles from

our lil nestle in the woods.

ENJOY

A female (top of feeder) & male Downy Woodpecker

It's been so cold here& hubby has been getting 

home after dark 

&  I am NOT suppose to 

be around things like litter boxes, bird droppings, etc

because of chemo reducing my immune system, 

so tis slim pickin's around here for the 

birds.  

They worked and worked to get a few bits of 

peanuts. Even a few scuffles.

Thank heavens hubby hunk came home before dark today

and filled ALL the feeders.  The birds will be thankful tomorrow.

Oh So Sweet, Our Mr Sanders

Yesterday..when I came home from my FIRST chemo

treatment, as I took my purse from the car, something

caught my eye in the tree on the side yard.

I thought it was a trash bag in the tree, but

as I turned my head, I saw what it REALLY was.

Our resident possum "Mr Sanders" was up

in the crab tree feasting on berries!! 

I yelled for Rich to bring the camera out

& we both got some good shots.

Who could resist that pink nose & furry body??

I just LOVE nature and I felt God had given me this

sighting as a sign He had LOTS of delights left in life for

ME!!

Oh each day is a blessing , please appreciate it and

hold your loved ones CLOSE

and rejoice in the gifts God gives us.  They are there, just

open your eyes to them

lovingly, Deena

hubby gave my that as my American Indian

An Interesting Shot

I captured this picture through the window and was surprised to see a nuthatch on thebottom left limb, in the branch below the Merlin Falcon. The Merlin dines on smaller birds.

This guy sure doesn't look scared does he??
