Last night there were so many outside at the feeder that they made so much noise I was awakened. They even climbed up on the bike racks at the back of the RV to get to the seed storage containers.
Just as the Canadian Jays or Camp Robbers of Alaska these southern cousins are curious as all get out. They are as noisy or more so than the jays of Alaska. But strikingly beautiful in their blue black and white colorations.
We moved 4300 miles north to escape snow and cold only to have it snow where. First time it's snow here in 83 years on Christmas day. I think it followed us all the way from Alaska.
Caught a picture of the Rare Alaskan Snow Bird sitting in the shade of a sunny South Texas Day. Amazing that one can catch such a rare creature out and about.
I love to see this Cardinals on the Feeder, this male is aggressive as all get out. He even runs the female off the feeder if both land on it at the same time
We went to the beach todaybecause when we first got up we checked the temperatures in North Pole Alaska. It was -26 degrees and it was 76 degrees here in Corpus Christi. That's over a hundred degree difference. To celebrate this difference, we went to the beach. Viva La Difference
What I've heard about these little doves is that they are moving into this territory just recently from farther south. They group together to withstand the cool temperatures. They are so pretty, with the feathers being outlined with a darker color than the interior of the feather.
I love to hear their calls early in the morning at the RV Park, they won't land on the feeder but if I throw some seeds out on the ground they will come.
We are in Corpus Christi, Texas. The wind is blowing hard off the gulf when I awoke this morning. Rattling the windows of the RV. Got outside just in time to see a large shooting star. Is that a sign, of bad luck. I certainly hope not.
