OUR DAILY VISITORS:

                                         

We have so many cute, sweet & talented guests visit us everyday. They sing, fly, jump, hide, run, dive & entertain us. They fill up their gas tank in our backyard.... LOL 😂. Who are these visitors? Let’s see their biographies, see the link below for their pictures and videos. I added few pictures in the album from the other places I visited.

CHIPMUNK 🐿-- A very cute, fast & smart burrowing ground squirrel with cheek pouches. He (or she) comes every day, eats some seeds & then fill up his cheek pouches with lots of seeds to store in the ground burrow. One day we put almonds in birds feeder, he took away almost 6-7 pieces of almond in one trip, came three times..😂, very funny to see him everyday. He is no longer afraid 😱 from us. There is a one very cute closeup video in the album.

ROBINS: Robins are gray-brown color birds with dark heads. They eat ground worms, and I’ve never saw them eating seeds. There are two pictures of three new born robins, born in our backyard maternity home...LOL 😂.

BLUE JAY: A very beautiful, sky blue color, intelligent, noisy but sweet and highly aggressive bird. They dominate over other small birds. Once we witnessed him killing a baby sparrow 😕.

CARDINALS: Male cardinals are bright red color with a reddish kalgi or turban... 😂. Females are pale red color with reddish tinges in the wings & crest. Mostly I see these lovebirds together and have seen them feeding the seeds each other 😊

BLACKBIRD: A black beauty with a red wings.Their soothing songs & cheerful moods are signs of the return of spring. We don’t see them in winter months as they migrate to warm weather.

WOODPECKER: A very pretty bird visits our backyard a few times a year. They have a light gray color with stripes & red cap. We have heard their drumming noise many times while pecking the dead wood or tree in our neighborhood. Woodpecker can repeatedly bang it’s head without any concussion injury.. 😂 

HAWK: They visit us frequently in searching for the birds as their meals. We witnessed them eating sparrow, robin, blue jay & baby rabbit from our back yard....😢. In the album there is a picture & video of big Hawk, taken few days ago while walking at my work place. In the video, the Hawk has captured the Blue jay with its powerful claws & the Blue jay’s friends are attacking the Hawk to rescue him... no success...😞.

TUFTED TITMOUSET: A little gray bird with an echoing voice. They love eating wild red berries from the holly tree in our backyard.

Baby Blue Jay, Baby Tufted Titmouse & Baby Hawk: We found them while walking in our neighborhood. One day I saw a very sharp cute Baby-Hawk while walking at work place, he was looking into my eyes...😆. See their cute pictures in the album.

BROWN-HEADED COWBIRD: A stocky & shrewd dark brown color bird. These birds lay eggs in the nests of other birds. They also visit us everyday except in the winter.

GOLD FLINCH: Gold finch is the Nj state bird. A tiny cute yellow-gold color bird. They visit us 2-3 times a year, mostly in fall season. 

MONARCH BUTTERFLY: Each fall, millions of Monarch butterflies travel 3000 miles from Canada to Mexico. On the way to their long journey they stop by to fill up their honey fuel from the Butterfly Bush in our backyard.. LOL 😂. 

GREAT BLUE HERON: The great blue heron is the largest wading bird in North America. It is 46 inches in length with a wingspan of 72 inches. We see one same bird for the last 5 years in our neighborhood pond. 

GEESE’s FAMILY: We see them in our neighborhood all the time. A few years ago mother Geese laid 12 eggs in our back yard. We used to glance them everyday, one morning they were hatched and gone. A day later we found them in nearby pond with small cute babies. 

BUNNIES: We see them all the time even in winter season. They love eating the green grass, keeping our lawn nicely trimmed... 😂. They live underneath our shed, their new born babies don’t go too far from the shed due to fear of being kidnapped by someone....LOL 😂. Last year, the shrewd Hawk ate two baby rabbits... 😢.

DEER: Once in while our dear Deer also come to visit us.

Sparrows, House finches & Gray doves.... are also our daily visitors.

Deep in the Heart we all love birds, animals & nature. We are happy to feed OUR CUTE & LOVING GUESTS. You guys are also welcome to come. We will feed you delicious home made sweets (Laddu).. instead of bird seeds...LOL 😂. In case if you aren’t able to come due to lockdown then take one Laddu from the album.... 😂.

Be Safe You & Your Family.

THANK YOU.

  2. Reminds me poetic lines of Shakespeare’s AS YOU LIKE IT” in which… the dethroned king (like Lord Ram) was sent to jungle for a decade or more. Upon returning to kingdom, people asked “how was life in jungle?” The dethroned king replies… tongues in trees
    books in running brooks
    Sermons in stones
    Good in everything Good in everything
