The other day, while sitting in the window room, I saw a hairy woodpecker on the suet feeder. The camera was on the end table next to me, to I took a picture of the woodpecker.
The next thing I knew, a little downy woodpecker landed on the suet feeder. So I snapped his picture.
And
then, a red-bellied woodpecker landed on the suet feeder. Three of our regular woodpeckers landed on the feeder within five minutes of each other, and I got some great shots of all of them.
A few days later, I got this cardinal, perched in what the girls call the "waiting tree." This is where birds wait before landing on their favorite feeder.
The next day I saw a female goldfinch in the waiting tree. If you look closely, you can see that she's losing her summer color, and the drab winter brown is creeping in.
I also got this nuthatch as it hopped around the tree trunk.
And today I saw a regular visitor - Julia's favorite bird, the Carolina wren . . .
. . . and I also saw a new-to-us pair of birds - purple finches. This was the first time I've seen these birds at one of our feeders.
