Almost forgot! April 11: the "holdout" White-crowned Sparrow was sighted at the feeder this morning. :)
The house finches are by far the most common bird I see in our tree, and they’re also bullies at times (to other small birds and other house finches), but they are very photogenic too.

Letting this handsome Brown-headed Cowbird bring the sun vibes on yet another gray, rainy, colder-than-normal spring day. He’s got one tiny seed in his bill and one flying out of it.
A raven landed in the backyard. Both bipeds and quadrupeds were amazed! Huge bird! Far taller than pup. Beautiful creature. Still amazed by the size close up - I've only ever seen them from a distance.

April 9: audio & visual confirmation from the backyard feeders that the White-crowned Sparrows are still here.
Master of all he surveys from his perch atop the tree.

I regularly fill this pebble filled water bowl, and was wondering whether the birds use it. This morning I saw these goldfinches. Question answered, the top-ups will continue. #birds #backyardbirds #goldfinch #finches #wildlife

A female (or immature) House Finch in the redbud tree. The redbud is still on hold with cool days and temperatures below freezing the last few nights. Last night: 26° F / -3° C.
April 7 and the White-crowned Sparrows are still around, singing their cheerful song.

Ready! The purple martin scout birds have already come north, so it was important to get the gourd houses in place ASAP.
Link is for an interactive map showing where scout birds have been spotted.

The hummingbirds are flying north (link is for Hummingbird Central interactive map). They ones farthest north are within 100 miles of my location.
I picked up these mini hummingbird feeders at the dollar store. (Note: These are for mini hummingbirds only. If your hummingbirds are robin or pigeon sized, you’ll need to buy a different product.)

The Redbud Tree has been stalled out for a few days with the cold, cloudy weather. The unopened buds add just a hint of color around this red-bellied woodpecker.
California towhee, on the ground this time where they appear to be more comfortable.

I have the fake shutter sound enabled and I'm sure they hear it sometimes and turn to look at what made the noise.
