Wednesday morning was a particularly productive time to watch and listen to the birds in the backyard.
I had four FOS - first of the season (autumn) birds. I heard my first Varied Thrush, and saw a couple of Fox Sparrows.
I was excited to find this White-throated Sparrow amongst a group of Golden-crowned Sparows.
The white throat is a distinctive marker...
...as is the yellow lust above the eyes.
Here he is facing off with a Golden-crowned Sparrow.
The final FOS bird was this small Ruby-crowned Kinglet. They tend to flit around - never still - so I was pleased with this capture.
Wonderful first of the season views, Beth! Love your Wisdom piece!
ReplyDeleteWonderful pics Beth!
ReplyDeleteGreat first season views. I think maybe we have the kinglets but they are not still long enough for me to be sure. What a cute stitch!
