The last few winters I've bee lucky enough to get one decent look at a Townsend's Warbler.
There are two fairly common winter Warblers in the Willamette Valley - the Yellow-rumped Warbler and the Townsend's Warbler.  They tend to stay near the valley floor, and I am at 700 feet, while the valley floor is around 400 feet.  

The Townsend's Warbler is a very colorful bird, so these rare glimpses are pretty exciting! 

Much more common for me are the Red-breast Nuthatches.

Gotta' love an upside-down bird!

Bright-eyed too!

This is a classic nuthatch pose.

And that's one of the many reason I have a peanut feeder.

  4. Beth I still like ve your blog after all these years. I used to have the blog Sarah Beth’s cross stitch blog until it got hacked. Now it is Sarah Beth’s Stitching. I have a Flosstube under Thant name as well. My last one I got to interview Karen Kluba from Rosewood Manor. I always enjoys watching your banners change each month and your beautiful wild life photos
