Red -Breasted Nuthatch

We only have a couple of these little Nuthatches but they are regular back yard visitors.

Interesting behaivors and a lot of fun to watch.

So so very cute. They love nut suet.

Junco

 My constant back yard birds and I love them.

 This is a beautiful little bird.

 They don't often eat from the feeder but seem to prefer ground feeding.

They also seem to enjoy all kinds of seed and suet. Junco's even eat stale cornbread and other kitchen leftovers.



Scrub Jay

What color...wow. 

Beautiful color and how about that white eye brow. 

Scrub Jay eating cracked corn. 

Fun birds to watch. Jay hiding some cracked corn for later just in case we run out. 

Beautiful Scrub Jay!

Monday- Favorite Pictures

This was just beginners luck spotting this Hawk on my back fence. I keep scanning the fence and trees but haven't seen another Hawk so far.The Starling's are very entertaining. Click on the picture to see the facial expression of the Starling and the Pine Siskins.I love the eye of the Dove and the shadow in the puddle. The Bewick's Wren is so darn cute in actions and appearance. The last picture of the baby Pine Siskin just, melts my heart. Please leave a comment.

Black-capped Chickadee

 This darling little Chickadee is a regular in our backyard but very hard to photograph.

 So precious and cute, Black-capped Chickadee.

This little bird is in constant motion.
