We've had a ton of Goldfinches and House Finches out back for the past month-or-so that I've been back; is interesting in that they weren't around last year, or anything.
Have become kind of ordinary, these little ones:
Goldies flocking on the feeders last week. Get a load of that particularly Gold bee-hind on the top level!
Have to say that I'm surprised with how accustomed to the bright flashes of primary colors have become; sometimes even find myself looking beyond the birds to other things. Still, changes in the routine do surprise. The other day, observed something subtle, lovely, totally Springlike: a male Red Head tenderly passing a sunflower seed to a brown headed, stripy-breasted girlfriend. (sigh.) Spring is *almost* here.

Red winged blackbirds arrived in yard yesterday!!!
LUCKY!
I'm trying to convince Pavel to put a water feature in so that we can have waxwings, warblers and RWBs.
