Here's What I'm Working On

 

Another Little Stitcher design.  

This time a European Robin.

I've been hearing Ruby-crowned Kinglets.  Finally, I was able to capture one with my camera.

The little Downy Woodpeckers have been very reliable.

I've seen two males - though they do NOT like to share space.

One usually runs the other off.

There's more tolerance for a female Downy.

Sunday's Hummers

I think I'm going to have a good turn out this winter.

I've seen as many as six birds at the same time.

All Anna's as expected.

A juvenile male

A female

An adult male

Happy Sunday everyone! 

Saturday's Critters

Focus on smaller critters this Saturday. 

Cute as the dickens Douglas Squirrel.

Brush Rabbit and Douglas Squirrel.

I've had multiple incursions in the backyard.

 Little Boo-Boo Bear

So this must be Yogi Bear.

The good news is that I was home and stopped them before they could do any real damage.

I wonder if he is laughing at me.

The shepherd's hook and tray feeder are both easily fixed.
