Birds in Fall



Chestnut Backed Chickadee


Male House Finch


American Robin


Hermit Thrush


Dark Eyed Junco

Leaves have thinned. It was great standing under a tree and being able to watch (and take pictures of) birds. Some of them were curious and would look back at me for a while, giving me an opportunity to take their picture. Since there is not much food for the birds, I start putting grains in the bird feeder around thanksgiving for the birds which stay back here during the winter. Some of them come to feed. Others find the patio a good place to rest and shelter themselves from the rain.
