A coy sparrow
The white-breasted nuthatches stay all summer, but the red-breasted are back now too.
We have a plethora of chickadees tour our yard daily, but a few have gotten zany, hoping over the plastic divider and into the seed! They often hop back out the other side. lol
We have several woodpeckers visit daily. This one was not in our yard, but you’ll be seeing one of them soon.
And this dark-eyed junco is not in our yard but many are – they just don’t cooperate as well in my yard.
The chipmunks are gathering for the upcoming winter. Their puffy cheeks always make me giggle. The squirrels are driving me crazy getting into the seed too! All except one, Pixel (the flying squirrel) has been making appearance again – I’m hoping she’ll move back into the birdhouse for the winter.
I have not seen turkeys in our yard but I often see them a few blocks away from our house.

Ohhh that chipmunk is so cute! You have lots of animals coming to your yard, eh Lisa……and those turkeys, are they the wild ones? I’ve never seen a life turkey before…..only seen them at the supermarket, all cleaned up and dead!!! lol

This post really makes me miss my old house in Atlanta. It’s so entertaining to watch the animals in the yard. I hope the next place we live has enough space for a birdhouse, at least.

If you managed to sneak up on wild turkeys, you are gooood. The closest I’ve ever come to getting a shot of them was a shot of where they just were. (I swear!)

Betty said,
HOW do you catch these birds on camera!!?? So many times I´ve wanted to photograph little birds, but they keep flying away, as soon as I make a step in their direction! You must have some lens! Awesome pic´s!

What lovely visitors you have! Wonderful shots!

Brilliant shot! I didn’t know even a sparrow could look so beautiful through the eyes of another. Chipmunks are busy gathering food. They gave up on their singing career? Time for Alvin and the Chipmunks Christmas songs.

wonderful shots. Love the birds and love getting shots of them. I wish we had the flying squirrels.
Tracey said,
Are you going to shoot one of those babies for Thanksgiving ;0) Just joking! I have been neglecting my feeders and have to get back in the groove again. Great pics…love the chipmunk!

Woa! Great yard. Love the nuthatch and the turkeys. Looks like you have a sanctuary for birds there.

I think you are so lucky to have this array of wildlife in your backyard (even if the wild turkeys are a few blocks away). I <3 that shot of the chipmunk!
