New Visitor

Washing dishes and looking
out the window
I saw a bird
it looked almost white
or pale beige.

Camera in hand I am out the door
to see if it returns and I can get an image.

Was lucky
it returned and
when image was downloaded I could
tell it was a young bird
with ruffled feathers.

Wonder what to call you and glad
you made a visit to the feeder
by my cottage.

Thought keeps coming to mind
as I look at this image
 - you look like an owl...

It looks like an albino. I saw an albino robin last year and this looks similar. However, I believe this is some type of finch.

awesome, amazing, spectacular, glorious, a few words that come to mind.

you live right, God gave you this as a gift, you passed it on and I love, love, love it.

happy day to you, One Amazing Woman.

Standing at my kitchen window I see the laundry shed and empty clothes lines. Next week they will be filled with color. This week they are bare. We have had almost thirteen inches of rain since Thursday. It will last a few more days. Next week I will see a resident squirrel hectoring me if I do not fill the feeders fast enough, next week I will see blooms on the rose of sharon, next week I will miss the rain.

sallysmom, it maybe a hawk or owl.
Sandy, thank you for the kind words to this women in the last chapters of her life :)
Lynn, the rain stopping will make everything pop up. I have too many squirrels and they are not my favorite. I take the birdfeeders down in the evening because when I go in for the day they love the feeders...

I think he also looks like a hawk. What an amazing area you live in--all nestled there in your little cottage in the woods. I am severely jealous, LOL.

Thank you for sharing the world through your eyes.

Yes, you and I could be kindred spirits:)

it looks like an immature sparrow of some kind. (Hopefully not one of those nasty English sparrows that kill other baby birds.) We have an abundance of white-throated sparrows in our yard and they mostly stay in the brush, so this might be one of those.
