It's funny how I posted about yellow flowers yesterday. I was sitting in bed looking online and sipping coffee when I saw a yellow bird fly up to my feeder. I've seen these birds before, but they don't come around as often as the others. I believe these are Evening Grosbeaks and a member of the finch family. They're common birds and found all over North America, so I'm sure a lot of you have seen them before. The male was the only one on the feeder at first, but he was soon joined by the lighter female. I snapped a few pictures, through my very dirty window. They flew off a little while later and then the feeder was attacked by a dozen little house finch. Then the squirrel chased everyone away, of course, and is on high bird alert as she eats her breakfast. I thought it was funny ... yellow flowers yesterday and yellow birds today. What will tomorrow bring? Yellow jackets? A yellow bear?
Gorgeous! I get so happy when I see our goldfinches show up.
ReplyDeleteHow funny that I am also having a very yellow week! Must be something in the air.
ReplyDeletea precursor of spring.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos! Let's hope you don't encounter yellow jackets!
ReplyDeleteHopefully no yellow jackets or yellow bears!
ReplyDeleteI like the pictures. Made me realize I don't notice many birds in the city. The more I read your blog, the more I want to move to Montana.

ReplyDeleteNo, not yellow jackets! No, no, no!
ReplyDeleteWe have finches here, but not that variety. He's handsome!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are so lucky to have such a great variety of birds to photograph. Mostly all we see are house sparrows and wild doves. Pretty. :)

those are so pretty! I hope the yellow jackets don't visit. We usually have to watch out for those when our yellow apples are ripe. They love to eat apples.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
