The red-breasted nuthatches found our new feeder outside the kitchen window. I took this while doing dishes, not a bad distraction. We are seeing 2-3 of these guys at our feeders daily. Today we had the biggest flock of House Finches yet, ~30. There were a couple orange males mixed in with the usual pink ones. Other visitors were 2 american goldfinches, 4 black-capped chickadees and 2 song sparrows.
Earlier this week, I saw a northern pygmy-owl on a road sign close to our house. I rushed home for the camera, but he was gone by the time I got back. It's easy to forget they are only 6.75in in length. For some perspective, an american robin is 10in long.
Heading to Creston tomorrow for a week, hopefully for some great birding and photography opportunities.
