The Birds At The Window

 The trees in my yard are almost bare...giving me a better view of my feathered friends.

I gave the feeders a fresh refill and decided to spend a few minutes,

camera in hand, at the window, with my beautiful birds.

Tufted Titmouse

This distinctive and endearing bird is inquisitive and visits my bird feeders year round.

Male House Finch

This pretty bird hangs around my house year round.

Ruby-Crowned Kinglet

With small yellow patches on each side, I only see this beautiful bird during the winter.

Male Downy Woodpecker

North America's smallest woodpecker, only the males have a red patch on the back of their head.

Males and Females visit the feeders and trees year round here.

Female Red Bellied Woodpecker

Widespread, I see this woodpecker year round in my yard.

 It enjoys the suet I provide.

White Throated Sparrow

Back to spend the winter here, I see them in the trees but more so on the ground eating scraps.

- may the joy of simple things color the canvas of your soul -

I must remember to spend more time at the window!
