Georgia and back in a little over four days

Went to Georgia to visit the Georgia Peach this past weekend. As you can see she has intense eyes.



Here she is a princess, as luck had it we viewed Cinderella a couple of times.



Dad's a Bears Fan, so like father like daughter.



Chipmunks abound down here and they are cute.




Now this is a rat and they abide down here too, to many in fact.



Georgia has its share of Nuthatches, saw 6-7 feeding one after another.



This appeared to me to be a Savannah Sparrow, but thanks to Matt Fraker who is great at giving me helpful advice when I run into the wall it is more likely a Song Sparrow. As Matt says "This is a good picture of a tough sparrow. It looks to me like a Song Sparrow -- longer tail, chest smudge, and general coloration. Although this Song is lighter and sort of gentler in tones than most of the ones here, most savanna's will be richer in these lighter tones, with a fine even chest streaking, and usually more yellow (and this can be REAL yellow) right by the beak." Isn't it nice to have experts to call upon!



Back in Normal we see a few of the many Gold Finches eating the thistle seed in our back yard.
