After a few days of dreary, wet and cold, with no seed out, we enjoyed an office deck revival when the sun came out and the feeders were filled again. I'm sure the twenty degree temps increased their appetites as well. Enjoy this week's offering.
The noisy Scrub Jays always announce their presence, so I can grab the camera and come a-runnin'.
Our friend Annette just loves the White-wing Doves. They can be pretty, but such pigs for that seed!
Black-crested Titmouse, Texas race. Notice I never fail to mention his Texas connection!
It was just so amazing that they all showed up at once, as if every species of bird that had ever visited was just waiting for the sun and the seed.
The House Finches were everywhere.
The Chickadee, get me to the church on time!
The thistle feeder was full of Lesser Goldfinches, Pine Siskins, and pretty much every other bird after the other feeders were empty.
A Pine Siskin at the bath.
That yellow breast really catches your attention.
The female Lesser Goldfinch.
And their cousins, the American Goldfinch. They are only here in the winter, and don't have their full glory on, but a pretty sight still.
We'll close with this surprise visitor, the winter version of the Yellow Warbler. There is a slight chance this is an Orange-crowned Warbler, but that remains to be seen!
The birds that didn't get captured by the camera include the Great Egret and the Red-winged Blackbird. It was quite a variety for one day!
