Purple?

When I saw this bird I thougt it was a House Finch but I was not able to take a photo. A few minutes later I had a second chace. Now i am fairly certain it is a Purple Finch. Some info to compare the two: House Finch or Purple Finch? Here’s How to Tell Them Apart.

Spring

It feels like spring has truely arrived. I am extremely happy about it. We are still getting lots of rain, but that is normal for this time of year. We will be seeing a lot more variety of birds soon.

Out to lunch

We always get excited when we see a Great Blue Heron. This one was making his way to the pond for lunch.

A Moment In Nature

The Brown-headed Cowbirds have been taking over the feeder where we stop most mornings. This may be one of my favorite photos of a male cowbird. He looks like he is taking in a moment in nature. I still have a major dislike for cowbirds ...

We are seeing eagles several days a week right now. They are so majestic and cool.
