You know those folks who decorate even before Thanksgiving? Well, Mr. Bossy, who thinks he owns the front yard feeder, is certainly ready for the season.

A p r o n h e a d -- Lilly Green 
Isn’t he lovely!
A beauty, but I have never seen one quite so bossy. He will let no other bird drink from his personal feeder! And he just sits there and yells at me!
You made me laugh! The ‘Beauty’ has Attitude!!!
I’ve never seen a bird with such a striking color, wow!
It is structural color, not just pigment. That is why he may look black headed, but then with a turn of the feathers and varying light, it can be all shades of red to magenta!
I find that interesting as well as amazing re: the structural coloring. You are something, Lilly, you have such an array of knowledge and I enjoy what you share. You are humble in all that envelops you and that is what I admire and respect the most!
You are so kind. If I could only make a living at all this interesting stuff. 🙂
Cute 😍
🙂
Mr. Bossy says it is a fact that he OWNS the front yard.
He has pretty much ruled it all year!
If I looked as handsome as that, I would own everything, not just the front yard.
That is what he is likely thinking!
Wow! That shot would make the perfect Christmas card! And I can’t think of a more beautiful ornament for a tree. I am truly impressed! 🙂
The dried and bursting seed pods on the left were a nice touch. I thank him for perching, keeping my composition in mind.
Thanks for reblogging this exquisite photo. I just LOVED it too!
🙂
My sentiments exactly! Beautiful photo!
🙂 He is quite the show off!
Reblogged this on Virginia Views and commented:
Wouldn’t this live shot make the absolutely perfect Christmas card?
No one need know how anti-social he is. 🙂
Wow gorgeous.
He is a looker. 🙂
Ah, the joy of being yelled at by birds! Mr. Nuthatch was giving me the what-for today. 😀 Your fellow is a cutie.
He does a lot of posing because he is so possessive and doesn’t want to get too far from the stash!
So very, very pretty!
🙂
Great shot! Such a beautiful little one!
Thanks. I just love their changing colors.
