New Years Day 2011

There are a ton of birds at my feeding area right now.  Here's the list:

  • Juncos
  • Towhees
  • Black Capped Chickadees
  • Mourning Doves
  • Willow Goldfinches
  • Rosy Finches
  • Song Sparrows
The oddest of all of these is the Towhees with their red eye.  They look evil.  If I were to toss some peanuts out, I would no doubt bring the stellar jays down from the trees, and when the flickers discover the suet, they will be here too.   I saw a varied thrush earlier this morning, but I think he got chased off by the little guys.

I purchased a cool window feeder from Wild Birds Unlimited, and it's giving me some up close photo ops...  if only the little buggers would hold still.


Note:  It took 30 minutes for the jays to arrive......
