Colorful Birds


Kip's bluebird has laid 5 eggs. But his feeder still attracts colorful birds. I was thrilled to see a rose breasted grosbeak with the ever present goldfinch.

Just seconds after I captured this picture, an indigo bunting appeared (but maybe it is a blue grosbeak?).

What is it??

Tom Striker confirmed my thought that ths black bird on the fence is a brown-headed cowbird. Not the bird you'd like to see.

Finally Something Besides a Goldfinch!!!


On a stormy March day, a song sparrow appeared at the feeder. I am almost tired of seeing all those goldfinches!

Snow in the Mountains Late February



Phil is at the cabin (maybe he will take some pictures at our feeder! But Kip's goldfinches will have to do to show the snow for today.

February Birds

Looks like Kip got a feeder to try to keep the squirrel and raccoon at bay. Hm-m-m

But the American goldfinches are happy!
