Birds, Birds and more birds!

The feeders in our front yard are just a flurry of activity. Today I saw the Baltimore Orioles back! or maybe they never left? Arriving before Christmas I saw them everyday for a week or so but since then only sporadically. They have such beautiful breasts of orange you just can't miss them.

The Goldfinches are absolutely killing the shelled sunflower hearts and thistle. I guess there are at least 30 flying in and out - filling every perch on the thistle feeder with others perched and ready for a turn.

Throw in the black capped chickadees, tufted titmouse, house finches, cardinals, doves, downy woodpeckers and it's just amazing not to mention entertaining!
