Hey You Birdsah!


Today's entry is about some of the birds that visit the birdfeeder outside my office window. Here a red-headed House Finch comes in for a landing.


This is a Painted Bunting. It's belly is red, head and wings are blue, and there's dab of irridescent green on its neck. The details are a little hard to see in the picture, but here's a better photo.


Here's the male of a pair of cardinals who feed here regularly.


Here's the female Cardinal on top of the bird house with a female House Finch hoping to elude detection. I have tried to snap a picture of the many hummingbirds we have but my digital camera is too slow to catch them.

Pretty birds . . . pretty neat! My mom would really enjoy seeing these guys at your feeder. I may just send her a link. :)
