Tough work week, looked forward to Saturday with no commitments, for a little birding adventure maybe? Bucketing in the morning as I got my coffee and scones with jam ready, and plunked into the lazyboy, pining for sunnier days. No birdin' today! Just have to sit here, mope, and watch the birds on the feeder.
The one nice thing about a rainy day is that our feeders are more active.
Started listing for fun and soon discovered that there were actually more great birds than I could hope to see on an average outing! I was warm and dry, only twenty feet from the action...still whining about not getting out. Feeder list in about an hour. Most species included both male and female and fledglings.
Downey Woodpeckers
Northern Flickers
Black-capped Chickadees
Chestnut-backed Chickadees
European Starlings (way too many fledglings)
Red-winged Blackbirds
Pine Siskin
House Finch
House Sparrow
American Goldfinches
White-crowned Sparrow
Northwestern Crow
Evening Grosbeaks
Black-headed Grosbeaks
Rufous Hummingbirds
Cedar Waxwings w/ fledgling (first for our yard)
Bewicks Wren (first for our yard)
Do I still have a right to complain...
