I especially love the Rose Breasted Gross Beak because we don't have any here, as far as I know.<BR/><BR/>We have an owl in the backyard who has been with me my entire life in all the places I've lived. I think he's my spirit guide. And yes, I'm sure it's the same owl.

There are so many beautiful ones. The cardinals are very bright and beautiful, and not that common, although if you have one around, he's easy to spot. The rose breasted gross beak is kind of rare, I just got lucky.RED MOJOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14724459820113337438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2649612952702911368.post-87919548668955567382008-06-27T06:33:00.000-04:002008-06-27T06:33:00.000-04:00Red I missed these ones!

Nothing like that in my vast back yard (live on five acres of eucalypts so they attract cockatoos, galahs and lorikeets - the noise is horrendous!) Little birds don't settle in my garden as there aren't enough small bushes for nesting. The Cardinal and the Red Breasted Gross Beak are beautiful. Like the fact that you're not fastidious about window cleaning!
