Spring soon.

Rain again. But birds are coming back. Goldfinches on the feeder this morning.

Those are different to the gold finches back home hal we have had a lot of long tailed t**s around usually have them November December time

Yes. Just yellow and black. Females light brown.

Funny I found Hal how such a small thing, can just make your day better by seeing them do their natural type things in your garden at times etc. & take care.

yeah great to see eh...plenty small birds about now pinching the small feathers off the loft vents etc...

Purple fiched, red polls, snow buntings heading up to the tundra. Red wing blackbirds, Robins size of your thrushes, all here one time or another during the day. Cow birds in flocks. Males brighter, females udder ones..
Hummingbirds and swallows arrive Spring will have started. Washed the window for better pics but raining so hard now waste of time.

Red winged blackbird.

Cowbird then dove.

You are very lucky Hal having such a variety of wild birds, must give much pleasure.

We used to have a reasonable variety some while back but in most places they have been almost wiped out by raptors, the latter having been introduced having been bred and released.

We have plenty of house sparrows and nearly as many wood pigeons, the latter so tame they are breeding within arms length of the house.

Sea gulls are also resident in a house opposite, wish they sang like a nightingale.

Makes me mad when I think back to going egg hunting as a youngster, nests in nearly every other tree of one kind or another.

Regards.

Lovely birds Hal Cheap entertainment watching them, maybe .

They have striking colours

Yellow one looks similar to canaries I bred for over 40years, far better on a feeder than in an aviary.

Could spend many hours watching the wildlife you have over there, but not the weather at times.

Regards.
