today's yard birds

Today the yard birds were plentiful - strange since it was actually a sunny, and above freezing day.

I got FOY (yard) chickadee and red-winged blackbird. I also had 3 species of sparrow - tree, song, and junco, plus the more usual finches, goldfinches, dove, cardinals, downy woodpecker, starlings and house sparrows (cringe). The neighborhood mockingbird is visiting the yard more regularly as our native bushes are providing some nice winter shrubby habitat. The following photos are from today's yard list.

Snowball and I leave for Austin this Saturday!!!!!!! We are excited about returning to the warm land!
