The Cardinal comes in the evening usually. Since I have (tried) kept the cats inside it seems that my garden is more popular.
Today the Mrs came as well.
It was good to see the tiniest come back. Today and yesterday I have had the pleasure of seeing Titmice, Nuthatches, Blue Jays, Chickadees and a Thrush. Finches, ones with yellow cheeks, yellow finches too. Some are so quick I can't get clear pictures but I have surely tried.
Blue Jays seem to always pose better than most.
The Nuthatches are real flighty and don't sit still. They also like the hanging feeders and are always on the wrong side. we have two kinds of Nuthatch. White bellied
...and red bellied. The red ones are smaller. I am trying to figure if the duller ones are female.
No I am not a Platypus......
I forgot to mention the little Woodpecker. Well this little bugger has been tapping around our windows driving the cats nuts. I tried to get pictures of him tearing into the soffit by the roof. He also had a go on the porch too.
But today he was having a go at the two stumps by the gate
The Tufted Titmice were a pain and would not sit still but I did get a couple of shots.
Chickadees are always here even when no one else is........but they are so busy it's hard to capture them.
While in the midst of enjoying the birds Chippy comes along. Good job the cats are inside.
This guy is a rare visitor here. I saw some a few years ago and not since so was really happy to at least get one picture.
Always here are the Mourning Doves, they are not as sweet as they look and will sleep on the food so no one else can get it. Even Blue Jays are wary.
I don't have too many of the finches they didn't come today but were here yesterday. I have been corrected, these are White Throated Sparrows.
Sometimes I get a lot of pictures of bird feeders with no birds because by the time the camera clicks they are gone. Sometimes I get a blur of feathers.
Maybe if I had a faster shutter speed it would be a cool picture
I played around with some of my images and quite liked these results.
Thats it for today folks. Trying to watch "The Walking Dead"...........

The 3 photos of the bird with yellow by the eye are not finches, but rather are white-throated sparrows. They have a lovely song in the spring.
