I finished this stitch about a year ago and guess who came by?

A rare visitor for me - a Red-wing Blackbird.

They tend to hang out in marshy areas - areas with sloughs and pond.

So for me it is a pleasant surprise to have one come by for a visit Saturday morning.

Can't forget my 'regulars'.  This photo is a great way to compare the smaller male Lesser Goldfinch with a male America Goldfinch.

Quail babies - they are everywhere!

Most Welcome Visitor Wednesday morning was a female Bullock's Oriole.

I heard her - found her in a treetop. 

Then tracked her as she flew in closer.

I cleaned and refilled my Oriole feeder yesterday - but she did not partake.
