Steller's Jay

I had over a dozen birds early in the morning.

There are nine in this photo.

And for good measure, and keeping to the theme, here's a Scrub Jay.

A post from five years ago

Here's a recap of some ordinary, yet pretty birds.

Junco

Golden-crowned Sparrow

Female Lesser Goldfinches.

They glowed in the afternoon sunshine.

Pleased to hear, then see a White-breasted Nuthatch.

It's an atypical bird close to the house and feeders.

Typical pose!

Fun to see this guy.
