House Finch at the Feeder

Rick on Jan 9th 2010

The birds are enjoying the feeder during these cold days we’ve had. This house finch has been a frequent visitor and is spitting out the sunflower shells.

Moving In

Rick on Jan 3rd 2010

This female goldfinch is a regular at the feeder. I recognize her because she has a cut on the back of her head. This shot was taken with a flash just as she moved in to get a snack.

Downy Woodpecker 2

Rick on Jan 1st 2010

This little guy returned today and I was able to shoot a couple of shots before he flew off. I’m not sure if I will be able to follow through but I would like to post a photo each day during this year. There aren’t many days that I don’t take at least one shot but I don’t always post what I shoot. With the trip to New York coming up hopefully I’ll be able to start the year off with some good shots.

Watching Closely

School’s out so I sat on the front porch this morning and watched the various animals in the front yard. Within a thirty minute period I saw thrashers and other birds, a hummingbird, a couple of hawks, and this squirrel. When I stepped down the steps he ran up the tree and sat on a branch watching me from a safe distance.
