Birds in the Springtime
April 18, 2009
 | Of the birds that come to our bird feeders, one of my favorites is the tiny brown-headed nuthatch. They are very bold and agile, and have a squeeking call that sounds like a hummingbird. |
We see a lot of chickadees, but this one is no dependent on our feeders. I caught him with a worm. |  |
 | We also love the downy woodpeckers. She is doing her security routine on the tree before coming down to the suet feeder. |
| I spent some time experimenting to catch this carpenter bee in flight. |  |
A pair of young brown finches come to the window sill. They are part of what we call the "finch mob". They vary from brown to red with a few goldfinches mixed in. They are very efficient shellers of sunflower seeds and can empty our window feeder in a few hours.
