Front yard birds

PictureChestnut-backed chickadee, Camp Meeker
Chickadees show up at my front yard feeders and water bowls, bringing other small birds with them.

The chickadees always travel in groups, & other small birds often join them for security in numbers.

Out of focus shot, Townsend Warbler. front yard - a few times this warbler has been with the chickadees when they visit.




A few small groups of Pygmy Nuthatches showing up a couple of different times a day, always when the chickadees are also there.

The sparrows have been in the yard, once the bird bath happened. Here is a fox sparrow, drinking with the Buddha. Robins also use the bird bath in the mornings.

Also, the dark-eyed juncos have to be the most numerous. This is a male on the porch.

Stellar Jay is such a punk:) It's head looks like it has been combed by somebody. Sparrow drinking with the Buddha is quite a smart and sagacious guy:)
