Sunday afternnoon in August 2007

This and other Wrens have been busy out back this past few weeks. Sometimes they have an annoying buzz that sounds like locusts, but they are neat to see.





Here we have a male Cardinal, bright red.



This is a house finch, notice the red coloring, not all over the body like the male cardinal.



At the feeder, the female cardinal and the wren share a bite to eat.



This is an up close and personal picture of a young sparrow.



Do you suppose that this Gold Finch is praying?



As you can see the female cardinal has her own beauty, but not as glitzy as the male.



This Downy has obtained a sizable nut.



Just another view of the Downy



Even the Downy and the Sparrow share the nuts.
