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!

A funky color for a heart - this used GAST's "Hyacinth".  I like it. 


It's raining!

Not bothering this guy.

And look who's here!

The Ruby-crowned Kinglet.


See the bit of red atop his head?


Here's a better look.

And another look.

A nice pose.

 They're back!

I saw the first Band-tailed Pigeons around the 9th of February, but have not been able to take a photo until now.

So far low numbers and they are extremely skittish. But soon I'll need to remove the trays on the feeders.

Cold morning with LOTS of Steller's Jays.

Some were puffed up to fight the temps.

Is it cold where you are?
