Camera Shy

Singing his little heart out!





Some birds cooperate fully, while others. . .

Backyard Birds

The little red-breasted nuthatches may be small (smaller than the chickadee), but they are mighty. They will run off other birds twice their size! lol

Not the best chickadee picture ever but he was so cute gathering fuzz.

A baby. . .robin?

Now the white-breasted nuthatch is bigger than the chickadee, but more mild mannered than the red-breasted ones.

And the little Downy Woodpeckers are content to nibble on suet and be left alone.

Getting out of the house

Who's in my yard?

A coy sparrow

The white-breasted nuthatches stay all summer, but the red-breasted are back now too.

We have a plethora of chickadees tour our yard daily, but a few have gotten zany, hoping over the plastic divider and into the seed! They often hop back out the other side. lol

We have several woodpeckers visit daily. This one was not in our yard, but you'll be seeing one of them soon.

And this dark-eyed junco is not in our yard but many are - they just don't cooperate as well in my yard.

The chipmunks are gathering for the upcoming winter. Their puffy cheeks always make me giggle.  The squirrels are driving me crazy getting into the seed too!  All except one, Pixel (the flying squirrel) has been making appearance again - I'm hoping she'll move back into the birdhouse for the winter.

I have not seen turkeys in our yard but I often see them a few blocks away from our house.
