backyard birds
I’m really not sure why some evenings our yard is extremely full of birds and other evenings I only see my Chickadees. One evening last week as I sat on the porch, I was excited to see my normal folks (3 Downy Woodpeckers, 1 Hairy Woodpecker, Umpteen Chickadees, 3 White-breasted Nuthatches, a couple of Blue Jays and several Dark-eyed Juncos),and a pair of Brown headed Cowbirds, 2 pair of Cardinals, 3 Goldfinches, a couple of House Finches, a sweet little Sparrow and 5, yes 5 bluebirds. The Bluebirds excited me the most because one little female seemed extremely interested in my birdhouse.
The yellow one is gorgeous. Is that the goldfinch?
Great sightings! I went birding today at the refuge. I plan on posting
some photos on Thursday. I am sorry to say no Red Knots or Turnstones yet.
Those are beautiful visitors with wings you've got here :)
Such SUPERB photos... You must be so happy with them in your backyard too!
Cool shots! We had bird seed left over in our garage from the winter and
started putting it out a couple weeks ago. Me and my daughter have had a
GREAT time watching the spring birds during our noon picknick in the back
yard. Many are just like yours. I'm out of town on business this week and
your pictures made me think of home. Thanks for sharing!
Wow those are lovely bird shots!
These are elegant. Oh so graceful. Those birds know they're home in you're
backyard!
Great captures. Love the variety you have.
hey lisa, i hope your are feeling better.
love your bird pic's.... ok, stupid question, is the yellow bird (my fav) a
chickadee or a goldfinch? so cute!
ooh pretty! that's what I say when i see the finches and cardinals outside.
sigh...
I was thinking of you again this weekend! We were cutting the grass up at
the lake house this past weekend and the birds were going crazy! They move
so fast...I don't know if I can get a good pic?!?! Your pics are always so
good! I'm going to "TRY" this weekend just for "YOU"!!! I think I need to
get a bird feeder!!! Mr. "S" dad has a cool looking wood-pecker that lives
in his backyard! He is the one I want a pic of!!! He has the hole drilled
in the bottom of the branch so the rain doesn't come in!!!!! =)
Love the pics.
There have been a steep increase in finches around here over the last few
years, wonder why.
Absolutely beautiful. I wish I could capture nature as well as you do, my
camera just does not zoom...I need a new camera.
OOHH I love that pic...and love your birds You are so wordly where birds
are concerned! I knew you'd know what my pretty visitor was!! And wouldn't
that be exciting to have babies in your bird house!!!

I just had a good laugh at your comment questioning the red stripe sock.
On the Nora Jones Video, the guy with the white hairless legs are wearing
red striped athletic socks. I made the quip about the sock after seeing
that. It generated a question or two, even from Hubby. Just a product of
my strange little mind!
