A special visitor!

A don't often get White-breast Nuthatches at the feeders.

This one thought it might like a bit of a peanut or two.

The gray, the black, and the white - such a pure white.

I was fortunate that it stayed put and allowed me to take a series of photos.

The hummers

I think this is a Rufous - a bit late still hanging around.

Brown on tail feathers and sides.

I think this is a sweet design.  I like Noah's sash and his sandals.  I had trouble with his eyes and finally ditched the French knots for straight stitches.

 Marvelous Migration  continues.

A wonderfully bright Wilson's Warbler.

I'm not sure that I saw one all summer long.

But this guy more than made up for it. 

So bright and cheery.

I'm fortunate to have been able to snap off a few photos.

Thanks for stopping by!

Safe travels little one.

Migration is marvelous.

I heard Evening Grosbeaks ever times, but did not see them.

I did hear and finally find a couple of Red Crossbills.

Crossbills generally hang out in central Oregon, but a few drift west to the Willamette Valley.

They lit so far away, it was hard to get a good photo

Maybe if you enlarge you can see the crossed bill.

And off they went!
