Casual Backyard Bird Day

Although nothing rare stopped by, it was nice to take a break from work to peak out the various windows at all the birds and squirrels busily moving around. To paint a mental picture for you, imagine my face pressed against the glass as I just watched longingly, pretending I was out hiking.

I could not believe the variety of species that visited within 15 mins. I decided to start keeping my camera next to the door and potentially annoy hardcore birders by photographing and documenting visitors. Helps keep the forehead smudge from the window too! :)

In addition to those photographed, we observed several California Scrub-Jays, our "resident" Anna's Hummingbird, dorky crows, bushtits, Eurasian collared-doves and of course all the squirrels. It is nice to have the feeders back up.

Hopefully next week I can keep up this small daily track of the feeders and surrounding areas without creeping out my neighbors with the camera too much.
