This is what we saw on the rails of our front deck this morning. We have caught a glimpse of it on several occasions but this time it was up close. Coco the cat was really giving it the look see.

birds in our front yard and maybe a few other places
Eastern Phoebe
Cute little bird
Sharp-Shinned Hawk
We’ve had these come by most years but this picture was taken 2-18-2018
Blue Bird
We hope this is a good sign that our Blue Birds are coming back. Last year I cleaned out the houses and then some other birds took them over. We really miss them. Click on picture to male and female from 4-29-2019
Northern Cardinal
This male cardinal posed in the bright sunlight. Zoom in on his eye.
Carolina Wren
White-breasted Nuthatch
They are hard to a picture of because the fly down get a sunflower seed and take off. Caught this with a seed in it’s bill.
Baltimore Oriole
The orioles came back this year but did not stay long. I think we will put our oriole feeder out earlier next year. They were also a little shy this year and stayed their distance out in the trees. Click picture to see last year birds.
Brown-headed Cowbird
We have had male and female of this bird. These birds are known to steal nest of other birds lay their eggs and leave them to be raise by host. This is the male.
Mr. and Mrs. Grossbeak
What a cute couple
