Birds

It seems like there have been more different kinds of birds around the feeder recently. At first it was almost all House Finches, now there are also Juncos, Chestnut-backed Chickadees, Spotted Towhees and even a Downy Woodpecker and a Golden-crowned Sparrow.

Slightly further afield, I spotted this House Sparrow collecting what I assume is nesting material.

My Terra Station device had reported Bewick's Wren, but I hadn't identified any, so I was glad to discover I took a photograph of one. I wouldn't have spotted it, but it was singing loudly.

This Song Sparrow was another vocal one.

Of course, the usual Anna's Hummingbirds are around.

There haven't been as many Wigeons around as other years but a few showed up recently.

I always enjoy seeing (and photographing) the colorful Harlequin Ducks.

This Great Blue Heron seemed to be enjoying the view.
