Hairy Woodpeckers

Here's a fledgling female. You can tell because she still has a couple of red feathers atop her head.

And she behaves like a kid!

See what I mean?

In contrast here's an adult male - the prominent red feathers are at the back of his head.

Happy Monday!

Acorn Woodpeckers

Here's a newly fledged male.

He's a blue-eyed baby boy.

And the head feathers on his head are mottled.

Playing with his food!

It's Friday

I think I feel like this scraggy molting Steller's Jay.

There was a large flock of Bushtits in the Hawthorne, but I only managed to capture one before they flew off.

I dd better with the Chestnut-back Chickadees.

And the Black-capped Chickadees.

Happy Friday!

Lots of Lesser and American Goldfinches

A trio of Lessers

A female American Goldfinch 

Originally, I thought she might be a female Western Tanager, but alas...

She's just a little Goldfinch.

Anyway, she's a pretty little thing.
