Anyone know what kind of bird this is?

Hangin out

This little guy was just hangin out on our deck.

Strike a Pose

I was sitting near the feeders yesterday to cool down

 after gardening and this red bird stopped by and posed for me!

Looking for a new home?

I think this little guy is moving in to one of our bird houses!

La La La La La

Our garage babies are singing now. They had a rough weekend when they somehow got shuffled out of their nest (darn neighborhood cat!!). We gently put them back in their nest and they are doing great. We are now keeping the garage shut and have a fan running for the babies.

All Good Moms Take Care of their Babies!

On May 18th, I posted  a picture of a nest full of eggs we found in our garage.  I believe they are now hatched.  She flys in and out of the broken window to bring food. We are leaving our garage door open more than normal because it is really hot.

All Good Moms Take Care of their Babies! I carefully zoomed in and got this shot of her tonight and she protected her next. Hopefully soon we will be able to get a shot of her babies.

Not my garden, but my garage

Earlier this year my hubby broke one of the glass windows in the garage door while repairing the mechanics of the door. It seems instead of nesting in my gardens, this little family is flying in and out the broken window in the garage door.  Well, now we can't fix the broken glass until these little guys hatch.

A new visitor to my gardens

A rose-breasted grosbeak is visiting my gardens. We have seen it on three different days in the past week.  They breed from Novia Scotia to the mountains of Georgia. Apparently it spends the winters in the tropics. 

Who was more surprised?

This is not a very clear photo, but it is an AWESOME one. I was standing in front of one of our newest bluebird houses to take a photo of a flower and this little guy popped up and looked at me.  I don't know who was more surprised, him or me!  It made my day.

Canadian Visitor

I took this photo yesterday and I believe it is a Common Redpole Finch. They make their home in Canada, so this little birdie is just passing through.

Waiting for Spring

It's hard to tell, but the shiny branch on the tree limb the bird is perched on is iced over. This little birdy is like me. He patiently waits for Spring!

Bird Watching

I saw this beautiful cardinal as I was working in my garden today.
