Perches.
An American Goldfinch perches on the shepherd’s crook which supports two bird feeders below it.
Tidbit.
First weekend of Project FeederWatch.
A Red-breasted Nuthatch grabs a tidbit, a shelled sunflower seed, from a feeder.
A treat for the eyes and spirit.
Watching Turkey Vultures soaring overhead is always a treat for the eyes and the spirit.
In formation.
Turkey Vultures are on the move; fall migration seems to be underway. These three are in a line astern formation above a night roost. Could not get a good focus on them despite numerous tries. My technique needs work.
Such graceful birds; I love watching them.
Highlighted.
Highlighted by late afternoon sun, an American Goldfinch feeds.
Wind-up toy.
I tend to think ‘wind-up toy’ when I watch a woodpecker move. Tick-a, tick-a, tick-a.
A Downy Woodpecker. It’s interesting that this individual does not share – it jabs at any other bird on the feeder and continues jabbing until the other bird leaves.
Adjust.
I relocated the feeder mentioned in the previous post in an effort to make it more difficult for squirrels to get at. This Blue Jay adjusted to the new setup in no time at all.

A House Finch visits the hopper feeder; both are highlighted by the evening sun.
A molting American Goldfinch and a fledgling perch on a sunflower just outside the kitchen window. I deduced it as a fledgling because it exhibited begging behaviour just before taking this photo, which may appear to be a little out of focus – I shot it through the window screen.
