A Winter's Tail

To commemorate the first day of Winter, I thought I would share images of a few of the birds who visited my backyard yesterday. All are regular daily visitors this time of year.

Downy Woodpecker
Golden-crowned Sparrow
White-crowned Sparrow
Oregon Junco
Oak Titmouse
Bewick's Wren
Western Scrub Jay

Chestnut-backed Chickadee

  5. Your birds look very familiar, just a little bit different from the eastern US variety. Nice photos! Happy holidays and happy birding in 2011!

  6. I agree with Hilke, the birds are interesting because they are just a little different from the same varieties we have here (I"m in Maine), familiar but not the same. Nice set of images.

  7. Thanks Hilke & Robin. I know what you mean, I see slight differences when I see Eastern birds posted. Thanks for stopping in & sharing your thoughts.

  8. Lovely images!!! It's neat that we have chicadees and juncos and sparrows and wrens - just different types than what you have. Very neat to see yours!

  9. Those are some great backyard birds, several would be lifers for me! I just moved to Bountiful, Utah and I'm excited to see what different backyard birds I get here compared to my Boise, ID and Mesa, AZ backyards.
