Week of Birds Compilation

Here is a compilation of pictures all from the week:

Here's a turkey that was eating in my yard on Monday, made a dashing run for the forest when I opened the door.

Hmm. . .got a stash up there?

A small Downy Woodpecker male preening, a little bit of fluff flew off him in the process.

Top and bottom: A Chipping sparrow eating out of the feeder.

Spring arrives.

Squirrel!!

One sunbathing Dark-Eyed Junco also known as a Slate-Colored Junco.

And now moving on to The Strawberry Wars:

Yum. . .scrumptious and juicy strawberries!

Oh no!A greedy Lemon steals the berry for her own eating.

Lime makes a run for it. In the end it was all eaten up, at least everyone got a bite.

Charcoal enjoys a rub on her neck.

And for some reason, she also has a habit of hopping into any available leg or should and just sit there.

The look of da Evil about to strike!
*dah daaah, da dah!* evil music in the background.

Either a Pewee or a Flycatcher. The second time I have spotted one of these birds! I probably most of the time mistake them for Juncos.

Top and bottom: Nuthatches! These are the clearest pictures I have of White-Breasted Nuthatches yet.

There were two of them in all where I was. They were chasing each other and scrambling all over the bark of the tree.

A Norther Flicker jabbing at the ground for insects with its long stout beak.

Lil' Nuthatch getting a good preening.

For some reason it seem like this Nuthatch was trying to stick a feather in the bark. Not really sure what the reason was. . .

Looking for something?

Chipmunk, frozen, in sight.

There was one perched in a bench on the neighbor's property too.

Playful Chickadees chasing each other.

A Red Cardinal singing, if you have never heard their song before it is astonishingly bold and pretty.
