A warbler and back yard update

PictureWilson's warbler




Wilson's warbler- at the end of private drive near Furlong Rd.

Really hopping around in the tree, difficult to get a good photo, just when you focus the camera, he jumps away.  (Male has a black cap).

Black-headed grosbeak in the orchard.

Mostly I have only seen this bird around the back yard feeders.

You would think this bird's bright coloring would make him stand out, but actually it allows him to blend in pretty good.

Western bluebirds hunting from back yard posts, this one with a big bug, took him a little bit of work to even eat it.

White-breasted nuthatches still hitting on all the feeders in back yard.

Young nuthatches starting to look more adult - like and are more often feeding themselves.

This crazy deep red colored finch is actually called a purple finch.  They are the most frequent finches in the back yard.

At least one of the steller's jays has figured out the upside down suet feeder
