I love when Dark-eyed Juncos come to visit for the Winter months.
They really add something speical to the garden~

Wild Bird Wednesday
(http://paying-ready-attention-gallery.blogspot.com.au/)
Of course we cannot forget the wee little Carolina, or Black-capped Chickadees.
I never can tell the difference...can you?
I have mistakingly at times, called them Purple Finches, when they were House Finches, and vise versa.
I am thinking that these are the House Finches~
I can hear the voice of the Eastern Towhee all year round, but they are great at hiding and so Winter is when I can see them more often than not.
This is a female~
Sadly Mourning Doves are taken more than any other bird from our garden, and yard...
they are so beautiful~
And what kind of rare bird is this, you may ask...cahem a little varment...
A Gray Squirrel has made a trip to the ground and carried a large, pretty hefty Hedgeapple up into the tree.
It had taken several over the week and ate them atop our Bat house, once he got the thing up high enough to enjoy~
Nice post for the theme!
ReplyDeleteWell done!
the squirrel made me laugh. :)
ReplyDeletelove all of these birds. we get them all here except for the towhee. such beauties!
so many beauties to make mention individually I found as I went through each image Mary. I enjoyed each of them so much; beautiful birds you have
ReplyDeleteMary, beautiful collection of birds, your photos and mosaics are lovely! I think one of my favorite is the cute little wrens! Have a happy week ahead!
ReplyDeleteOh, what a lovely series of shots! The Junko's have been elusive in my yard. I finally got some photos today.
ReplyDeleteThis could almost be my backyard!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful series of shots and those little wren shots made me smile.
A great series of photos of beautiful birds.
ReplyDeleteWe have all of these with the exception of the Junco. The finches can be difficult to differentiate at times, but I don't think we've ever had Purple Finches, but we have lots of House Finches. The cardinals are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSome collection Mary.. !!!!
ReplyDeleteAll cuties.
Costas
Great set of pictures - that is a great variety of birds in one garden!
ReplyDeleteCheers and thanks for linking to WBW

The juncos are so sweet! Enjoyed seeing all your avian friends.
ReplyDeleteSo many great shots of the little birds. All I get at my feeder is doves and blue jays.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful photos! LOVE the Red Cardinal shots. We have Juncos now too. Your collages are really gorgeous. And what a variety you see!
ReplyDeleteCute yard critters!
ReplyDeleteYou have a great selection of colourful birds again Mary. The Cardinal is surely the star of the garden But I remember the White-throated Sparrow as rather outstanding with that spot of yellow above the eye - not to mention that whistling refrain. Love the mosaics again too. I just posted a few Whimbrel pictures for everyone. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteHi Mary,
ReplyDeleteYour photos are gorgeous! I have quite a few of the same birds at my feeder. You have put together a wonderful collection.
A wonderful series of shots!
ReplyDeleteWow, lovely photos of gorgeous birds! And the squirrel! I've got one in my garden too, no matter what I do with the bird feeders he still gets to the food!
ReplyDeleteHave a great Valentine's Day!
This is really nice. As I scrolled through your wonderful images, I could hear each of their songs.
ReplyDeleteGreat post!
you have so many gorgeous birds. Love the photos of the Vren nad the Junco is gorgous. :)
ReplyDeleteUp here in Illinois it is a treat to see Juncos and White-throated Sparrows-- both rare to non-existent in our Florida home. As much as I hate the cold and snow, I love the feeder birds here.
