What I'm seeing...

Nice flocks of House Finches

Golden-crowned Sparrows in breeding colors.

I keep expecting these guys to move on to their summer territories.

Here's an Easterish stitch of a little bird - a yellow baby chick.

And now a yellow bird or two!

On the left a Lesser Goldfinch, on the right a male American Goldfinch.

And above a couple of House Finches.

Good comparison of the Lesser and American Finches.

It's always great to have the American Goldfinches return.

That said, they are some of the messiest eaters going!

Lots of Acorn Woodpecker Photos

Lots of Acorn Woodpecker photos.

I think they now have a fledged baby or two.

This male has blue eyes  - mature adults have red/pink eyes.

Blue eyed male with red-eyed female!

I like the size contrast here. It gives you an idea of just how BIG the Band-tailed Pigeons are.

And not to mention...

A young Hairy Woodpecker.

See the bit of red atop the head?

Probably a newly fledged female.

And lastly, a female Flicker.
