Around the yard

We have been watching the Flicker box with great interest! There have at least 3 different Flickers checking it out. This Flicker, a hybrid (see the red on the nape of the neck?), actually did a little excavating. He pulled out quite a few of the wood chips and spent some time drumming on the box itself. How cool would it be to have a Flicker family?!?!?!?


The Townsend's Warbler is still very active in the yard. There are 3 or 4 of them and they spend most of the day here.


I guess the squirrels gotta eat, too.


Bushtits! There have been some huge flocks (60-80) in the yard lately.

After the Great Backyard Bird Count

Hello everybody!

Here's hoping that you had a great weekend and, to those of you that participated in the GBBC, the best GBBC yet!

Here are a few of the photos we took over the weekend. We have been absolutely swamped since last Friday. Between counting for the GBBC and about a dozen other projects that we have going, it's been crazy!

Anyway, here are the photos. Hope you enjoy!



A Townsend's Warbler getting ready for a big bite!

This Townsend's couldn't figure out if he wanted to land on the suet or not.
Here is one of the 3 or 4 Red-Tailed Hawks along I-84, between Lloyd Center and 102nd Ave. We see them everyday so keep your eyes peeled!
A Cooper's stopping by for some lunch (luckily, the restaurant was closed)
