Raiders of the Night

Raiders on the Feeder
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.

Blue Birds

Blue Birds of Texas
Beautiful Blue Birds of Texas

More Blue Jays

Curious George

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.

We went to the beach today because 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.
