Cold and changing weather is bringing more birds to our feeders. This is just a sampling of what I have been enjoying.

Red-bellied Woodpecker – male

I especially enjoyed seeing several Eastern Bluebirds during the past week.

European Starlings are not as pretty as the bluebird, but they are fun to watch.

House Sparrows are as ordinary as it gets in the bird family.

House Finch – Female

Downy Woodpecker – Female

The Mourning Doves are good at cleaning up seeds that have fallen on the ground.

The male Goldfinches are still brown. I look forward for when they turn to yellow in a few weeks.

Dark-eyed Juncos abound this time of year – especially when the weather is changing to rain or snow.

Thank you, Lord, for creating birds.
