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.

Weekly Woodpecker Report

A female...

...and male Downy Woodpecker at the front feeders.

A female Flicker also out front.

And a male...

...and female Acorn Woodpecker too.

Something for everyone!

Wishing you all blue-sky days! 

Wednesday's Walk - Five Years Ago

A short walk around part of Ankeny Wildlife Refuge.

Last year's nest

The earliest of blooms - Osoberry.

Ash trees in water with the boardwalk to the right.

Licorice ferns

See the bird?

A white-breasted nuthatch

Low-flying geese

More geese

A couple of kestrels

I think the prettiest of the raptors.

Do you agree?

A wren dropped by.

A Bewick's Wren.

And he had a lot to say.

Another bird who enjoys the bark butter.

And also will not say no to a peanut or two.

Yumm!
