Birdfest #2

Today was a birdwatcher's lucky day! We saw a TON of birds. Here's another list of the species we saw:

• 0 House Finches (hooray!)
• 1 Gray Squirrel (UGH!!!)
• 1 Red-bellied Woodpecker
• 1 Downy Woodpecker
• 1 Brown Creeper (cool!)
• 3 Northern Cardinals
• 5 Black-capped Chickadees
• 6 White-breasted Nuthatches
• 20 or more Dark-eyed aka Slate Coloured Juncos (again with the Juncos!)

But there weren't as as many birds on the feeders as I might have expected. These are my favorite pictures:

There's a male Cardinal. Looking heroic, as usual

A cute little Junco

Now who can tell me what that is?

Aww, how cute!

It's the best (and only) picture I have of the Red-Belly

This is the second time I've ever seen a Brown Creeper!
Last time it was fall 2012

I just love Nuthatches. Have I ever told you that?

It's really, really, really hard to see, but sure enough, it's a Chickadee.

It practically posed for the making of the picture! The blurriness
is just frost on our super old window

A nice-looking female Cardinal

Normally, birds don't visit our birdbath in the dead of (snowless) winter,
but we got a water heater for our birdbath recently

Okay, last picture:

I got to see the male, but I didn't have my camera ready.

That's a lot of birds! I've never seen so many in my life! I hope you can have (so-called) birdfests like me. Happy birding!

P.S.: Okay, I take it back. My camera isn't THAT terribly bad. :)
