Female Downy Woodpecker!

I always see the male but on this day I noticed he had a friend!!!!

Variety of Birds at my Feeder!

I noticed my feeder was getting a lot of attention and decided to take a quick video. Turns out this short video captured 4 variety of birds. First a Downy Woodpecker and House Finch then a Dark-eyed Junco at the tube feeder followed by two Red-brested Nuthatches and more House Finches at the end! I've muted the sound as it was taken through my kitchen window while the boys were eating lunch and making a ruckus, lol!

Hooded Merganser!

I spotted this fellow amongst the Mallards at my local pond. I wish I would've had my better camera. I always have my point-and-shoot just in case I spot something interesting.

Female House Finch

I usually take pictures of the male House Finch because of his beautiful red color but I thought I'd give this female the spotlight today!

Female Northern Flicker

I've gotten many pictures of the male Northern Flicker that visits my backyard but today I got a photo of the female who comes around less often!

Feeding Frenzy!

Just a couple of action shots of the feeder!

Project Feederwatch and new photos!

I guess it's been awhile since I've updated this blog! I was excited to see this new visitor to my feeder and turns out he's now become a regular! I decided to sign up for Project Feederwatch and last week was my first week counting. I suspect my count will be pretty much the same everytime because lately I have the same visitors everyday. 6 House Finches, roughly 6 Juncos(maybe more), 2 Black-capped Chickadees, 2 Flickers and 1 Downy Woodpecker. On rare occasions I see a Red-breasted Nuthatch but not often.
