And they are so pretty to photograph too!!!

The little Song Sparrow I see almost everyday!

One of these day I am going to be taking a shot like this and get a very bad 'surprise'!! LOL

Carolina Chickadee belly!

Rear-view of one of our Orioles.

Such a great collection of birds, Love them all.
I'm surprised Adel, that that was your first wren. Glad you got to see it, I would have thought they were in your area for you to see before. But there aren't a lot of them around any more. My one pair has a nest started.

Haven't seen or heard any catbirds yet this year. Yesterday our warmest day of the year 83 degrees and not much wind.

Keeping pretty busy trying to get all the new plants into the ground. Planted overgrown tangled vines of Morning Glories last evening. Too cold before to put them out so took me a long time to untangle the vines.

Must get outside. Good birdwatching everyone.

This little one perched on the window sill and looked in for several minutes. I had to back up to get it in focus. I've always wanted to have a bluebird do that but I guess "There's a goldfinch on your windowsill..." works too.

And this one sat in the sun for quite some time,snoozing. Several times it nearly fell over.

Here are a few more of Papa bathing. In this case it's Mrs housefinch looking on.

And he did get wet!

This started out as a shouting match between two male California Quail..............

Jennifer, You asked what camera everyone has you can take a look through this thread to see the answer to most people. A few might have changed but it's fairly current.

Cedar waxwings have been buzzing around my neighborhood since the weekend.

We really enjoy the Waxwings when they pass through here. Last one I saw here was around April 25.

Last eve. got the canteloupe seedlings out in the garden, and a few sunflowers, listening to the birds twitter all the time.
