Black-capped Chickadees Building a Nest!

My neighbor has had this birdhouse hanging in their tree for a few years and this spring the Chickadees have decided to use it! I really enjoyed watching them bringing nesting material and getting it all ready! I wish I could see the entrance from my yard but this will have to do!

I'm on a mission...

...to attract hummingbirds to my yard!

I hung this feeder in mid April to try and get the migrating ones on their way up to the mountains just West of me but no such luck and now it's June.  I hear they will start heading down from the mountains to my area again in August so I will try again. We are doing some landscaping in our front yard and I'm hoping to plant some Hummingbird-friendly plants there, soon!

Hawks!

This, I'm taking a guess and calling it a Red-tailed Hawk (please correct me if I'm wrong), was flying over my house when I was returning from a walk.

It appears the Cooper's Hawks are nesting in the same spot as last year. Their nest didn't last through the winter so they had to build a new one! I'm keeping my distance from them this year so this will likely be the only photos I post :)

American Robin

Still, my all-time favorite bird!

Red-winged Blackbirds!
