Winter Birding

I love the cooler weather and I love seeing all the birds coming in!

I have dark eyed juncos, black capped chickadees, chestnut backed chickadees, downy woodpeckers (in photo), northern flickers, house finches, gold finches, anna's hummingbirds, bushtits, and a song sparrow coming in. I also have the "snarlings" AKA starlings coming in but I try to ignore them.

I am anxiously awaiting the pine siskins and varied thrushes as the weather gets colder.

The trees may be barren but the birding is plentiful!

Happy Bird Day!

When I first started watching birds in Aug. of 2006, I had a goal of capturing a photo of every species that visited my little patio.

I've done pretty well for living in a condo complex to have had so many different kinds of birds visit me.

In the Fall of 2006 I had a Downy Woodpecker visit my suet feeder but never got that photo. I hadn't seen once since until....

MY BIRDCAM CAUGHT ONE A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO!!!!

I am so excited and happy to see one again as I think they are neat little birds!

Here's the video of the one that came to visit:
