Preparing To Swoop

I had to laugh at this Blue Jay .. he was ploting a dive to get a snack. Other birds were enjoying some bird seed we put on the ground. The Jay was a little later but swopped in late to fill his belly.

Knock, Knock

This Red-bellied Woodpecker was one of many woodpeckers we have seen this week. He was sure intense about this tree. I guess I need to make a video.

Spring Prep

It was delightful to spot this American Goldfinch . Soon, we’ll witness the arrival of the males, adorned in their vibrant yellow plumage.

Goldeneye .. the duck version

Unfortunately we did not see a the male, but we did see these two female Common Goldeneye ducks. The male has some amazing colors but both have goldeneyes.

Snack Time

We are not seen near as many birds for the last few days but this Downy Woodpecker provided us with some entertainment. They are always fun to watch.
