Return of the Pheasants

Today we had some snow, rain, hail, sunshine and clouds. Crazy weather, but Washington is well known for it. We also had some visitors. The hummingbird dropped by for the feeders and some heather. Also two male pheasants came by. They had been regular visitors, but had stopped coming in late September. They usually eat some of what falls out of the bird feeders and move on, but this time they stuck around for a while - even perched in our tree out of the wind.

  1. What terrific colourful visitors you have. The Hummingbird is gorgeous with those red patches on its head. The Pheasants are just lovely too. You got some great shots!

  2. What a beautiful landscape you have for the visiting wildlife, and for the background of your tremendous photographs. I was not aware that hummingbirds like heather. I have several heather beds, but have never spotted a hummingbird out there. Do you think I could attract them to my heather by putting a feeder up for them?

  4. I can't believe all the wildlife you have in your yard! I also thought the hummingbirds migrated south for the winter. Truly amazing. Great photos.
