I am so exited that I made it through the whole month of January and did not miss a day!  Although I am not thrilled with today's picture.  We looked out this morning and saw all these blackbirds either in or under our bird feeder.  We've never seen blackbirds in our feeder before.  They are usually at the neighbor's feeder.  But the neighbor's feeder was being guarded by a squirrel, so I guess these guys decided to eat breakfast at our place today.  Once their bellies were full, they perched themselves in my neighbor's mulberry tree.  It was a strange site for my kids for some reason, so they asked me to take a picture.  The bird on the top left isn't a blackbird, but I can't quite make out what it is.
