Some of My Local Birds

I had a day when the snow stopped and saw 8 different bird types. Here are five of them.

These are the Starlings. They truly are neat birds making a lot of noise.
Here is a House Sparrow sitting on the table I have on end..
This is a pair of Cardinals the red male and brownish red female under an overhang.
Here is a Black Capped Chickadee that was taking off to fly.
This is a Dark Eyed Junco. This is the second one I saw this year.
The other birds I saw were a Grackle, a Blue Jay and an American Robin.

  1. It's amazing that we share a lot of the same birds and live so far apart!!

  2. It looked like your starlings were having a meeting in that photo - loved it!

  5. You got quite a few visitors on your sunny day. Hopefully you'll have more (sunny days and birds) in the days ahead.

  7. When I see the little birdies outside in the winter, I feel so sorry for them - their little feet are so small, they have to be cold!!! Poor things!

  8. Great sequence, Fishing Guy!
    Those three birds in the first picture seem to gossip! Beautiful!

  10. Some of the birds are here as well. But the cardinal is unknown here I think at least I have never seen one. Beautiful photos!

  11. Ok, now you've gone and done it - you've made me homesick for all the birds I had around my feeders when I lived up north! I'd almost forgotten that dark eyed juncos even existed.

    *sigh*

  12. I'm a huge fan of the humble huge fan of the humble house sparrow. Could almost be my garden, well if I had that beautiful cardinal which I am still so envious of.

  13. We are seeing the occasional starling here in Michigan now. They are funny, but they are also gluttonous when it comes to our suet feeders.

    And they take a bath with more vigor and flurry than any other bird I can think of!

  18. Love the bird photos. We usually have a ton of dark-eyed juncos, and I haven't seen as many this year either.

  19. Love the bird photos, but I'm not crazy about starlings, they invade our feeders. I think juncos are so cute. I got pictures of robins this morning.
