Bird Watching

Pretty much every day we get plenty of visitors to our bird feeder. It is such a fun thing to watch... the beauty of the birds and their behaviors are so entertaining!

The kids aren't all that skilled in being sneaky, which tends to not work out so well... 

The most common bird we used to get... 

This year we have branched out to include some new regulars, some pretty red birds...

As well as some brown ones (not pictured) and these yellow ones. These new birds have a much more dominant personality. Whereas the chickadees would line up, take a seed and leave. These red, brown & yellow birds (sorry Pop, don't know their names) makes themselves comfortable, and eat in the feeder, facing out so they can fend off any other birds who want a turn too! 

Now today we had some entirely new birds show up, so I had to get the camera to capture them. They are much larger and have a very strong yellow coloring. They came in a pair and pretty much filled the bird feeder.

Just after I finished this post yesterday, I went back to the kitchen to find those two yellow birds had recruited some more! There were a total of 5 of them now! So of course I took more pics ;)
