Here's an adorable chipping sparrow doing what they do best. Be adorable.

Nice start Marna, Thanks. Love your Redstart, I've only seen the female once, last year. Hoping they'll drop by this year.
White-crowned Sparrow are still here.

Song Sparrow, can really sing a tune.

Thanks for the new thread...I love the Redstart. Here is the baby Mockingbird crying for food.

One of the parents brought food.

Red-Bellied Woodpecker sees something interesting.

Aha! A peanut!

Ring-billed Gulls and don't know the other one with the black head .

Cute baby GP.

Purple Finch

A very puffed up female Purple Finch.

Geeze Tiger, I GUESS! looks like it's 20 below there!

Is this a Warbling Vireo?

Another view...............and then it was gone.

This photo was taken around April 30 just Southwest of Waco, TX, by my father-in-law. He said its a Crested Caracara (Mexican Eagle). Very cool bird!

Wonderful pics Marna! Thanks for starting the new thread!

Burn, love the White-crowned Sparrow!

GP, Such a cute Mockingbird juvenile!

Tiger, That is one poofy Finch!

Bestmissy, VERY cool indeed!!!! Their gorgeous birds. Is he strutting towards an Armadillo?

Yes, an armadillo.

It's a great pic! Thanks so much for posting it!

That Caracara reminds me a little of Groucho Marx!

Nice shots. My Pine Siskens are gone...maybe they come while I'm at work. Also, I've noticed that the Gold Finches are missing; they used to be all over the nyjer feeder. Cool Mexican Eagle. Never seen a white crowned sparrow...would love to get a shot of them.

Here's a series with my Female Downy Woodpecker. She looks worn down. I've notice she and the male have been gathering mouths full of suet and flying off so I think they have little ones somewhere. I sure hope they bring them to my backyard for a photo op.
