My backyard visitors.
~Blue Jay
This poor guy is molting, but still handsome.
~Stellar Jay
These guys usually remain higher in the mountains. It is nice to have her foraging in my yard.
~Black-capped Chickadee
One of my favorite birds, always fun to watch.
Broad-tailed Hummingbird (female)
This little female is probably one of the last to visit my feeders. I had four hanging around, but they have decided to head south. Wishing them a safe journey.
Juncos and White-crowned Sparrows have shown up, indicating they are migrating south and down from higher elevations.
Look for migrating birds in your yard.
Beautiful! I have seen chickadees on my feeder this week and the ruby throated hummingbirds have been coming to my year 4 or 5 and a time. It’s fun to watch them zoom all over the place and see them try to keep the other birds away from the feeder.
