I love the ending here..and last comes love, which gives everything else meaning. Indeed it does.
These are beautiful birds.
What a lovely show. I need to get my bird feeders filled and buy some suet.

Great photos! We have a Downey Woodpecker, but I've never seen enough of him to photograph!
Excellent post! Really enjoyed this. Such great photos of your feathered friends, especially that gorgeous jay.
