White Crowned Sparrow
May 11, 2017
The newest of my backyard feathered visitors are the White Crowned Sparrow. They are usually a ground feeder, but after foraging at the bottom of my feeders, they have caught on that the food supply is more plentiful at a higher altitude. I have counted as many as 7 at one time feasting and perching about the yard.
The Rose-Breasted Grosbeak ( male) is still a daily visitor, along with his female counterpart………
The female grosbeak.
Lucky shot to have caught her during take off.
This robin fledgling was perched on my patio chair and chirping loudly for mom or dad to bring food.
In the clearing after a rain shower, this tufted titmouse came in for a moment of rest and seed.
The Downey Woodpeckers frequently quench their thirst with hummingbird nectar.
Not sure who this little disheveled fellow is but he sure won my heart.
Hope you enjoyed!
