Easily Distracted

Cleaning my closet was near the top of my to do list today.

I was taking the empty everything onto the bed and then go through them one by one approach.

Shortly after piling the last load onto the bed, I caught a flash of yellow out the bedroom window.

It seemed an American Goldfinch was coming to check out the water feature.

When I spotted another coming in for a landing, I was off to locate my phone to see if I could sneak a few photos.

After a few sips, they each enjoyed a nice long bath.

They provided a lovely bright spot on our cloudy afternoon.

As enjoyable as it was to watch them, I needed to get back to the task at hand or it would never get done.  So back to the closet project for me.

I just got started when a speck of bright blue caught my eye.

Since I had never seen the Eastern Bluebirds come to the fountain, I had to grab the camera quick.  I was happy to capture the male looking my way.  Most likely he was looking at his mate perched on the windowsill.

Here the happy couple are gazing into one another's eyes.  

Wonder what they're thinking?

I was tempted to ask them why they didn't set up housekeeping in the bluebird box we placed out for them.  We even added their favorite dried mealworms to entice them.  

Instead a sweet little Black Capped Chickadee family has moved in.

It's been fun to peek into the nest to check up on their progress.

I better hold off on checking on them today.

At least until that mountain on my bed has been dealt with.

At the rate I'm going I may need to close the blinds to keep focused.

Any bird activity happening around you?
