Birds of a feather


This last week we have been treated to a show at our bird feeder.


The small red-headed woodpecker visits regularly.  There is a larger one that visits, but is VERY camera shy. 




Then we had a new visitor.  Beautiful colors.  Walt Kowalski and I weren't familiar with this breed, and a quick internet search told us it is rose-breasted grosbeak.



This is the male.



But Mrs. Grosbeak wasn't far behind.



Along with the yellow finches that visit and Mr. and Mrs. Cardinal that visit every evening at dusk, we saw a bright blue flash in the shrubbery.



This is an Indigo Bunting. The internet tells us that they are all common around here, but they are all new to us!  What a day at the bird feeder!
