First Visitors at Café Hampton

Today I saw the first visitors at Café Hampton!  I got a bird feeder over the weekend and have been watching it for three days waiting for the day for them to show up.  Of course, I wasn’t holding out much hope considering that it has been over 100 degrees every day lately and the wind has been blowing like it is still March.  But as they say, “If you build it, they will come.”  And come they have.

I only saw three visitors this evening, but it is a start.  And for the first time ever, I have had a Cardinal in my back yard here long enough to actually take a picture of.  Granted, they are not great pictures, but the birds are getting used to me, and I am getting used to them.  As we learn each other I hope the pictures will improve.

So, welcome to my first guests!

Mr. Cardinal.

I have got to get me that bird book and start learning these guys’ names.
