I've lived here for over 10 years and for some reason, I just recently realized how many different kinds of birds visit
my backyard. They are a joy to have, they sing beautiful songs, and they sure are God's gorgeous creation.
As you can see, most of them were standing on the telephone line in our backyard when I photographed them.

|
| This little bird loves to eat the blossom off the spring growth. |
|
|
| Cutest little golden finch. |
|
|
| A very hyper and noisy mockingbird. |
|
|
| Black phoebe, we have a family of 3 in the neighborhood. |
|
|
| House finche, we have lots of this around the bird feeder. |
|
|
| Bushtit, they are tiny, noisy, and hard to photograph. |
|
|
| A lot of birds are interested in my humming bird feeder. |
|
|
| Woodpecker, it was busy pecking away on the lamp post. |
|
|
| Starling, they always come in 3's. |

|
| Finally realized this is an oriole, I think a female. It sure likes honey! |
|
|
| Another shot of the female oriole. |
|
|
| This male hooded oriole and the female above come and drink from the bird feeder many times a day. |
|
|
| An inmature Anna's Humming Bird, he is quite bossy. |
|
|
| This is one of his favorite flower, the cigar flower. |
|
|
| Allen's Humming Bird taking a shower. It's call sounds like a rattle. |
Humming birds are a joy to watch. I found out that on a hot day, if I water the yard, the humming bird would take
a shower. It would hover over the water that sprinkles upward while it is flying!
|
|
| Doesn't this Allen's hummingbird look mad? |
