The Birds are Back!

Spring is approaching, heralded by the return of hungry birds. We have tons of yellow finches that enjoy the thistle seeds...



They are joined by cousins, the purple finches...



There are also a number of the lumbering mourning doves, with their interesting coloration of browns, gray, black, white, and with a vibrant blue surrounding the black eye...



Two meadowlarks visit every morning, checking the dormant Bermuda grass for breakfast...



This Junco sometimes joins the group...



...as do numerous red-wing blackbirds, sparrows, cardinals, robins, grackles, chickadees. as well as others.
