On the Wing #54: Feed the Birds
Another quiet Monday and with it raining and cold, I decided to take some pictures of the birds congregating outside on our tube feeder. I counted 10+ Dark-eyed Juncos ( Junco hyemalis ), a couple of Black-capped Chickadees ( Poecile atricapillus ), 4-5 Mourning Doves ( Zenaida macruora ), 2 American Goldfinch ( Spinus tristis ), a Song Sparrow ( Melospiza melodia ) and a Tufted Titmouse ( Baeolophus bicolor ). See if you can spot some in these pictures. Extra points if you can find the Gray Squirrel ( Sciurus carolinensis ) as well. A happy group of restauranteers Everyone's having a flap! Some Juncos fluttering in to investigate the offerings Just the center of attention. Again. Now the doves get in on the act There certainly were a lot of doves today. If you look carefully, you can see the goldfinch on the feeder above Mourning Doves are some of my favorites Juncos at attention Om nom nom... Snowbird Finishing up
