White-Crowned Sparrow

I just started seeing these White-Crowned Sparrow's in my yard for the first time today! It sure was a welcome surprise on a rainy, dreary, day.

House Finch


This is a back view of  a young House Finch, just coming into color.


So very beautiful, House Finch. Enjoying some black sunflower seeds.

Red-Breasted Nuthatch





I love to look out and see our resident Nuthatch.



They are so cute and tiny.



Nuthatch, a regular at the suet feeder.

Some recent favorites.

Here are some miscellaneous pictures from my back yard from the last couple of weeks. Even though there hasn't really been any creatures out of the ordinary lately, I still enjoy watching and capturing life flourishing in my little neck of the woods.




On the left, a nuthatch keeps a watchful eye of the the ground from a suet cage. On the right, a squirrel finds a comfortable place to scope out the area.


The frontal markings of the Northern Flicker are just spectacular. I believe this is a juvenile.






It has taken a while for the bark butter feeder to gain popularity. This Junco decided to try something different from it's usual ground feeding. This little Bewick's Wren is a daily visitor. He seems to prefer my hanging platform feeder.
