As we head into the weekend, here's a look at some of the birds that have spent part of the week with me.

I think this might be the closest, clearest photo I've ever snapped of a Turkey Vulture.

That red head!

From really big to quite small. 

A male American Goldfinch.

I think there are four houses occupied. I'm betting that this one will be the first to hatch and fledge.  Violet-green Swallows.

I think the Chestnut-backed Chickadees have raised their young as they've returned to to the feeders. 

The past couple of evenings a small group of Cedar Waxwings has come by. 

The light was low, so the photos are no great.

Their facial markings are so distinctive and stylish.

The next evening they came by a bit earlier.

Better light shows off the red 'wax' on the wing and the yellow-tipped tail feathers.
