Just Outside My Office Window

 I often daydream, 
gazing outside my office window when I should be working.
In winter, the view is different, the birds more abundant, more playful and friendly.
I am rebuilding my relationship with the birds as I spent many months away from the window
after the tree trimming episode.
So camera in hand, 
I have been enjoying their company, and they are once again becoming comfortable with me.

Male House Finch

Mourning Dove

Dark-Eyed Junco
I identified this bird as a Junco because of it's shape and pink beak.
The feather coloring is light but I read in my bird book that there are a number of color forms.
It is a winter visitor and there were many in the yard on the day I took this picture.


Junior is always hanging out in the tree by the window...
keeping an eye on me and begging for peanuts.

  11. Debbie - that's quite a cheeky squirrel! To answer your question on my blog - I do keep a hand-written hiking journal just because I can't keep up with all the hikes and the other content I want to publish. So my hand-written notes are there when I need them!

  12. I missed this post somehow, but must say you have a window with a view, and what a delightful number of birds you managed to capture with your excellent photography. It's quite true, it's much better when nature comes to you, and you don't have to search for it.

  15. I do believe nature is home. The bird photos are lovely. I like the Male House Finch colors. I do love the Doves. I think my favorite today is Junior. I always enjoy the photos you get of him. I loved the squirrels in Washington.
    Big hugs for you!
