Can you imagine what it takes to survive in the frigid temperatures we're having?  The sense of survival that is ingrained from birth is amazing.

Hi Cathy, I love seeing your birds. You have the same ones that I have. You got some great pictures. The first one is a female House Finch...

Hugs,

I love your bird pictures. I just love the juncos and tufted titmice. The titmice love peanuts, by the way.

I don't know the names of my birds but I do love them. Still trying to make them believe it is safe, my neighbor hung a plastic owl for a year. Great pictures! :D

The top bird looks like an English Sparrow Sp. PASSER Domesticus

Cathy, is your new camera a Rebel, too? Or something different. I may try moving my car to catch some different birds.

Cardinals are my favorite bird.

Hi Cathy

These birds are wonderful. It's amazing how the Lord created each one so spectacularly.

Enjoy your day my friend!
