Last evening, it rained. And then the birds sang a symphony. I’d forgotten how pretty the world can be when you stop to notice it.

Yeah, after a cleansing rain like that, life can be suet.
Nice shots.
Thank you!
Nice photos, a blue bird? I’ve yet to see a blue bird in my yard. The other two are finches, right, yellow and red? Trying to bring up my bird knowledge!
I’m never entirely sure which is what either. We have a bird book. I should get it out and brush up on my own bird knowledge!
I need to get a small paperback to keep close in the kitchen to identify Minnesota birds! Suggestions? I can identify the nuthatch, chickadee, yellow finch (I think the pic you have must be a red finch) and of course their mates, cardinals, but that’s all we seem to have flying through.
Great pictures, Terri. The one of the bluebird is sooo pretty -it actually managed to cheer me up as I sit here looking at the 3rd straight day of rain -which tends to depress me!
Glad to hear the bluebird cheered you up. I wish he’d come closer so I could get a clearer shot.
Great photos, as always!
I have been getting the comments from your blog as emails recently and each time one arrives I start humming this song:
Thanks for sharing that song! I’d never heard it before, believe it or not. I like it!
I’ve been getting email notifications of comments on the WordPress blogs where I’ve commented recently too. Seems there’s been some kind of change and if you don’t uncheck the box that says to notify you of additional comments, you’ll get notified every time anyone comments on that post. Not necessarily a bad thing, but it gets a little overwhelming in the email!
Well if it is new to you, that is even better! Queen did some great songs.
Oh yeah:

Of course!
But it is this one that made them true rock gods in my mind:
Oh, that’s a good one. Need to add that to my workout playlist!
If you work out to that one I think you should make a video of it! You could be the new Jane Fonda!
Hearing the birds outside my bedroom window is definitely the best part of waking up.
Singing birds are one of the best signs of spring, aren’t they?
Lovely, Terri. Isn’t it wonderful to know that the rains will be followed by such beauty?!
We’ve had so much rain the past few days, I haven’t stopped to take notice, but after yesterday’s rain, it was hard not to.
Great photos. We don’t have too many finches yet, most of our birds right now are magpies, robins, and doves.
What is it about birds that is so fascinating. Maybe it is the way they look when they fly that seems so much fun (though I suspect as animals surviving in the world it is a lot less fun than we make it out to be.)
You are so right about the beauty in stopping to notice. Sara wrote about that today on her blipfoto site. Hope today is just as lovely, my friend.
Hugs,
Kathy
Oh wow, Terri! These photos are INCREDIBLE!
I also like hearing the birds sing after a nice rain. They are so happy!
Damn. I do like Eastern Bluebirds better than Western ones (not that I’d ever say it when they were around)
Terri, you got some excellent pics of the birds and the outside after the rain. You must have a nice camera. I too love to hear the birds in song.
I wasn’t gonna say anything, but it had been a while since you graced the blog with your stellar photos. Well worth the wait! I’m glad you took the time to smell the rain.
Yay bird pictures! Good to see that you have so many bird feeders out there.
Gorgeous!

I love the pictures, especially the one with the water drops!
