Finches at the feeder.
Immature House Finches visit the sunflower feeder.
Not easy.
House Sparrows are not clinging birds.
Extracting seeds from an upside-down sunflower seed head is not easy when you are not a clinging bird.
No, I am not upside down.
This American Goldfinch is.
Blends in.
A male American Goldfinch blends in quite nicely.
Head cocked.
Head cocked to better survey the lay of the land, this House Finch ensures that the area is safe before visiting the feeder.
Good to see.
It was good to see this Red-breasted Grosbeak at the feeder. I first heard its song on May 08, or just a week ago. Is it the same one as I saw last year? While it is impossible to say, I like to think that the one I saw last year survived fall and spring migration, and wintering where it did.
Almost escaping.
As I photographed this Common Grackle it suddenly took off, almost escaping my field of view.
Visited
This White-throated Sparrow has regularly visited the yard for several days now.
Profile.
Even though the light makes its colour hard to distinguish, the profile clearly distinguishes this bird: It is a Northern Cardinal.
