Feathered Friends
Monday, August 10, 2009

A hot humid lazy day today... which meant I had plenty of opportunity to watch the birds in the backyard...



These two sparrows seem to be wondering if I'm going to come out and fill the feeder soon...



I put up a thistle seed feeder last summer to attract goldfinches...



... but this summer everyone seems to be enjoying it, especially the doves and chipmunks.



This house finch was so startlingly red that at first glimpse I thought he might be a cardinal.
