Bird Watching Daily Pics. Vol. 41

This little cactus wren if proof of the old saying ... "Where there's a will, there's a way!"

These little goldfinch have becoming regulars lately.

Everytime I try to get a shot of this pyrrhuloxia, it flies away. Today, I finally caught him.

Normally, my white-crowned sparrows are feeding on the ground; but I managed to get a shot of this one up in a mesquite bush. It looks a lot bigger to me.

Last one ...

When I took this photo, I though this was another white-crowned sparrow. As it turns out it's actually a black-throated sparrow. Yippie ... another new bird to add to my list.

Jane,

LOL!

Nice pics! Love your Wren! I've seen Carolina Wrens eat from our suet cakes too.

I love your Pyrrhuloxia! He's a beautiful bird! Love your GF's!

Maybe it's just the angle of the shot (White Crowned Sparrow). Pretty sure they're a little larger than most Sparrows.

I've never seen a Black Throated Sparrow before! Gorgeous!

Hi Rose :)
They've always been a very friendly bunch. Our local branch, Nature Moose Jaw, has a monstrous feeder down in the valley and they often come and sit on your head when we are filling the feeder (my Dad had the key for the bird feeder's pulley system a couple of years ago and it was a huge treat to go and fill it every Sunday). Now we just go down there with treats (suet and feed with fruit) since another member is having his turn so we can continue to enjoy the gift of giving (and receiving ;).

Cheers, Pam

You are so fortunate Pam!

Hi Pam
Would you believe I came to Moose Jaw for a vacation because I read on-line that there were a lot of moose in Moose Jaw? Well, there were no moose, but we did have fun in your town!
