Two of our snow birds.

I was able to snap these two photo's of one of our resident Cardinals and one of a Junko sitting in our fir tree just outside of my kitchen window. Makes for such a great backdrop for bird pic's.

This last pic is of a Red Poll that made a short visit to our feeders. Glad I was able to get this pic. as he is no where to be seen since.

Eileen it is interesting to see what wildlife we do share. I wish I had a flock of them at my feeders. This year we have a lot of Goldfinches. Last year we have a few Cross bills at our feeders. It is interesting how the wildlife differs from one year to the next.

 

A couple that we don't see out this way.

 

the cardinal is so beautiful

 

Kildale----that is interesting that you do not have Cardinals out your way. Fun to see how diverse the bird population is.

Decorchic------thank you. They are one of my fav. birds to see at our feeders.

 

We have cardinals year around. Right now we have a ton of those black grackles and lots of small birds. We have two seed feeders and a sunflower feeder and whenever you look out there are birds around and under them. No snow here for a backdrop though.

dooley

 

I'd gladly take some of that white stuff :-D

 

Tooty, we have cardinals and junkos, but no redpolls. Thanks for posting such a lovely photo so we could enjoy seeing a bird we don't have locally!

 

Beautiful pictures...I haven't noticed a redpoll yet and I am keeping my fingers crossed they miss my area. A few years back when they left they took all but 4-5 goldfinches with them. I used to have so many of them and I loved their singing in the morning when I would get outdoors.

The little Black eyed juncos are such a nice, clean little bird. I love seeing them come in the colder weather and I always dread having them leave when our nice weather starts...

My cardinals are my favorite...I am glad we have them all year.
