Look at those feeders!

My first LARGE flock of American Goldfinches this spring.

Every feeder was crowded.

All of the port in use.

Will they stay here, or are they still moving around?

The Lesser Goldfinches wonder what the big deal is.

Friday allows us time to...

Contemplate - like this crow. 

Have time to exercise...stretching like this Golden-crowed Sparrow.

Enjoy a blue-sky Day like this House Finch.

Drop in on old friends like this Acorn Woodpecker.

Have a snack like this Lesser Goldfinch.

A surprise visitor showed up yesterday.

I didn't get very good photos, as I was inside. 

But anyway, it was a male Acorn Woodpecker.

Doing its woodpecker thing.

Here's the best shot.

It appeared to be alone, but as they hang out in a group, I'm sure there are others nearby.

Wednesday's Walk

Are you ready for a walk?

It's a short one today.

Make sure you're hydrated and have had a bite to eat.

okay? Then off we go.

It's all about budding out.

See?
