So now let's take a look at some birds.
I've blogged about this poor Towhee before. He has only one leg and no tail feathers - signs of a run-in with a hawk I think. The good news is that he continues to do okay. He hops around on one leg, and eats well, and can fly without problems.
I thought it odd to see so many Goldfinches latched to the side of a large Douglas fir tree.
They continue to flock to the feeders in large numbers. Last autumn they totally disappeared and I did not see them again until spring.
Some of the birds are still rather scruffy looking as they transition from juvenile to adult like this Steller's Jay.
The two Scrub Jays are better looking.
And let's not forget some of our other little birds like the Black-capped Chickadee...
...and the Oregon Junco.
Happily I continue to see a Western Tanager two of three times a week.
It is a lovely bird.
