Chris, I can't believe you have the tree sparrows. I've been looking for them, and so far nothing. Might have to leave my back yard to find some.

Hack, nice to see some of the birds that are spring birds for me up here (Towhee and Robin).


SO! Today was the first of the season visit from a Northern Flicker (yellow shafted). My word, I'm not sure if it's been a while since I had seen one of these or this one is a hefty specimen, but just seemed like a HUGE bird to me.

Here it had gotten a big chunk off the suet.
