Yep, female Indigo Bunting

Resin

I am constantly turning to take a second look, thinking what is that tiny bird, only to find out that is a baby something. The black capped chickadees were just so cute and the baby sparrows have no fear, they are always surprising me when I head to the feeders they are the last to leave.
Here is a shot of some of the Doves.

Thanks Resin! I thought I was confusing myself...but her and the male were talking so I thought it had to be!!

I saw some old friends on vacation, and managed to get a few pics. Black-throated Green warbler:

Another black-throated green warbler pic:

Male and female purple finches:

A male Baltimore Oriole

Last one - upside-down, eating bugs, I guess.

The most seemingly innocuous material can prove so fatal. What a horror shot, tiger.

Nice shots guys!

I got this shot of a hummer a few days back.

Lots of Carolina Chickadee Fledglings around right now!

Juvie Cardinal

Juvie Downy Woodpecker

Juvie Baltimore Oriole and a male Cardinal sharing the buffet

The cardinal did not want to share the grapes though!

Baby Oriole prefers jelly anyway...silly cardinal!

Downy Woodpecker taking off!

Great pictures everyone.
I got a great surprise yesterday. I was on the deck, with camera in hand and ready for any action, and who lands on the rock by the stream? A beautiful Cedar Waxwing. I was only able to take this shot.

And this fellow, paid me a visit also. I hadn't seen them in quite some time.

The Downy Woodpecker

2 Purple Finch and a Female goldfinch.

I caught a few more at the feeders today. Just wasn't quite fast enough, the Cardinal almost made it out of the shot completely.

Nice pics nanny, Holly and burn!

Congrats on the waxwing shot burn; very nice!

One of the many Doves hanging around.

Beautiful waxwing!

The grass always seems greener....

Thanks Pelle and Nanny.
Well had a hard time with this one, wasn't sure if I also had Female Purple finches in this. Had to ask Resin. All are Pine Siskens, with an American Goldfinch.

Beautiful shots, I just love the Cedar Waxwing. We have them in our area but I hardly ever see them at my house. I have a neighbor that lives closer to the creek than I do that tells me they come to his feeders all the time. Every so often they will come by in the winter/spring and hit the Juniper bushes for a day and then go. Just a huge group that must be migrating through the area. Here are the Jays, so bright and feisty.

Nice shots, Nanny

burn, the waxwing is splendid. It looks like it's just about to go off an rob a bank with that mask on.

Holly, are they Stellars Jays and is that a Mourning Dove?

Thanks Resin, Yes the first time my daughter went west and saw the Stellars Jays. She was amazed and called home to tell me about the Blue Jays they had out there. LOL According to her they are bigger and even more brazen than our Blue Jays.

Red-bellied Woodpecker...I keep asking them when am I going to see some babies here?? lol

Field Sparrow watching over the field!!

Nettie the House Wren...I don't know why some get names!

She flies out now on to the middle of the wire when she sees me coming. Its like she is posing now!

Looks like Tufted Titmouse fledgling and a Chipping Sparrow having a face off!

Isn't it amazing that the brilliantly colored birds can seemingly disappear in the trees? The Lazuli Bunting's turquoise almost sparkles when the sun is on it.

Sorry this is so distant. These birds are shy and very wary.

You know it's hot when the birds are all open beaked.

American Robin juvenile.

This Steller's Jay has mischief in it's eye............

Fun pics nanny! I'm surprised you haven't seen juvenile red bellieds around, I've been seeing 2 come in by themselves and another 2 come in with a parent.

tiger those Lazuli Buntings are so beautiful and of course I love the Stellers!
