Bigger Birds

Nice to see a Flicker at the feeder.

This is a female.

I love the bright orange tail feathers.

A ubiquitous Steller's Jay.

And a crow.

It seems there's always a crow.

The Chickadee nesting box is still active.

I got a couple of good photos showing the adults...

...bring food back. 

They wait in the Eldberberry...

...before they make the short flight to the nesting box.

The box then erupts with high pitched chirping. 

And off the adult goes to grab another morsel.

Sunday's Hummers

The female Anna's are back.






And the male Anna's is showing off! 







I don't think that she much cares!

Saturday's Critters


We have a baby!


A doe with a single fawn.



Young enough that it is still nursing.

This female Hairy Woodpecker was by herself.

But I also had a family of four fly in and hang out on this tree.
I was only able to capture two of the four birds.

   
I think there were three kids and one adult - this is one of the kids.

I also had a family of four Black-capped Chickadees.

This time I was only able to photograph one of the young birds.
