You get an AMAZING number of varieties of birds in your yard! They’re all wonderful, but the ‘mysterious one’ who seems to enjoy being upside down is most intriguing.
Hugs and blessings,

What a wonderful variety of birds you have at your place! I’m so jealous. I’ve only seen waxwings twice in my life. Their scarcity makes a sighting so special. Beautiful photos!

ps. the grosbeak is the one looking away from us. It is a sparrow in the other photo above it.

yes. a ruby crowned kinglet
The yellow one is a warbler, I think. My first thought is a cape may. We were out birding several weeks ago and our leader said there was a cape may –looked like that — but it was a wilsons warbler.
Check out the cape may in fall plumage and see what you find.???

The one you think is a sparrow — from this vantage point I’m guessing a female black headed grosbeak.
I have a difficult time with sparrows. Some of them look so much alike —
I go birding with people that can tell what they are by their song. But I have to look at them, and even when I look at most birds I still often am not sure.

So, take what I say with a grain of … bird seed. hee hee

I love all your bird shots. We get many at different times of the years. Now the Junco’s have arrived.
