Birds around the house, May 2014.

Our feathered friends

Wow, life is a learning process. I never imagined that in this bleak and off-beaten place there existed such a rich variety of our feathered friends. They are a constant source of entertainment to me, a nature lover. Bird lovers enjoy my collection of birds taken in the last two weeks of March,
