Saturday Critters #574

 I have not been out since last Sunday, so I did not have any new critters pictures to share today.
I have great pictures of my yard birds saved and cataloged on my computer...
but I really wanted to share some new images.
Looking out the window, 
I noticed the birds were all a buzz so I decided to take out the camera and see if I could get lucky.

Here are a few of the song birds that visited me this morning.


I was super surprised to see the Dark Eyed Junco.
They are a winter bird here but I don't generally see them until the first snow.
I saw 2 today...


this one looked like it could be a juvenile because of all the brownish feathers.
Females also have a tinge of brown mixed with their slate colored feathers.
I think this could be either, hopefully, the experts will know.


Tufted Titmouse
I see this bird everyday, year round.



The White throated Sparrow, I see only during the winter.

I see the Song Sparrow often and year round.

That first Junco picture is hilarious! It looks like it is wondering what the heck you are doing!
I love the decorations from your previous post, so festive!
