It’s not what you’re thinking…. I’m talking birds! The weather got bitter cold last week so I made sure to buy seed for the birds. The word got out, I could hear the Blue Jays calling their friends, and soon the backyard was filled. I was able to lower the top portion of a kitchen window to take some of these, instead of shooting through the grimy window. Some I had no choice but to shoot through a window, an impetus to get take time to wash the windows this week!

The Juncos came

The Blue Jays

The Tufted Titmouse (Titmice?) were so fast swooping in for seeds I could barely capture one

Goldfinches

Nuthatch

Quite the acrobat that Nuthatch

Of course no backyard is complete without Sparrows

And then I heard the unmistakable call of the Carolina Wren. A rarity to backyards, so needless to say I was thrilled…
