More Birds

Gold finch We have also really enjoyed the bright colors of the goldfinches and at times we have seen 20 or so at the feeders and on the ground around.

Blue Jay

Grey Catbird

Rose breasted Grosbeak
These are just a few of the birds who have come to frequent our feeders. Some others include the pine siskins, red headed woodpecker, the ruby throated hummingbird, chickadees, harris sparrow, white crowned sparrow, black headed grosbeak. Others that we have seen , not at our feeders but just have observed on the yard include, mourning doves, robins, red winged balckbirds, regular sparrow, barn swallows, mallard ducks, various hawks, wrens, the american redstart, crows, yellow warbler, bay breasted warbler, canada warbler, purple martin, kingbird, grackles, kildeers,and bobolink, oh and Canada geese. I'm sure there are many we've missed but it is fun being a back yard bird watcher.

Gavin would love to come chase your birds - or just watch them with you! He is so often trying to creep up on them as they pick away on our front yard.

Thanks for your notes of encouragement Jo. I appreciate you, your prayers, and care. Thank you.
