I think my favorite bird is the female cardinal. What is your favorite?
Female Cardinal
Here are some male Cardinals:
He has a broken sunflower seed in his mouth (or should I say beak?).
Looks like he found another seed shell…or something…
Male and female Cardinals taking a stroll…
Cardinal and White Throated Sparrow having a talk. Who wants to caption it?
Caption this!
And, a female Cardinal getting a worm!
Time to eat!
Catch ya’ later!
birdsSaw this bird in the yard and I’ve never seen one like it before. It looks like some kind of dove, but I can’t figure it out! If anyone knows what this is, I’d love to know.
Unknown (Dove?)
White throated sparrow:
Looks like he has a seed in his mouth.
A squirrel taking a peek inside…
What’s going on in there?
Well, hello!
And another either saying grace, plotting and scheming, or eating. Ha!
Dark Eyed Junco:
Bye for now!
These pictures were taken throughout the spring and summer. There sure is a lot of wildlife in this backyard!
An Indigo Bunting. I love the bright blue feathers.
He wants those seeds in the feeders…notice the robin on the ground to the left 🙂
Heh…
We’ve seen rabbits, butterflies, several types of birds…
Pretty butterfly!
Hungry butterfly…
A woodpecker and another bird sitting on the birdbath.
Ahhhh….the woodpecker finds relief from the heat.

Is this a baby cardinal?
Anyone know what kind of bird this is???
And more birds…

Is this a Dark-Eyed Junco?
There is a sunflower seed right behind him…did he eventually find it?
Whew! This is a long post, but I have so many pictures I want to put on here!
So, yes, birds, spiders, tomoato pests, squirrels, and raccoons. Did I get them all? 🙂
Carolina Wren
Woodpecker
Some kind of baby bird.
I think this is a robin…

Cardinal
Black and Yellow Garden Spider…right outside my window!
I don’t know what kind of bird this is. If you know, please post a reply!
Squirrels evidently love birdseed, too!
I think he knew I was there…hee…
Blue Jay
This fella got to my tomatoes!
He blends in well, doesn’t he?
Tomato hornworms…ugh!
This raccoon (whom I’ve named “Murphy”) loves him some bird seed 🙂 After I discovered he was the reason for all the birdseed being gone in the mornings, I now remove the window feeders every night and just put them back up in the morning.
Another cardinal?
Oops! I forgot the turtles!
This guy hung around in the backyard for a bit.
I put some water in a paper plate out for him. He didn’t drink it, though.
Wait…what?
I think I got his good side.
Well, that’s it for now. It sure would be nice if it would snow and I could take some pictures of cardinals in the snow or something cool like that. We’ll see, I guess!
