Goldfinches, Woodpeckers And A Stem From Hell
I suppose yesterday could be called a comedy of errors but I didn’t think it was funny.

Yesterday’s Red-tailed Hawk
Plus… Is backyard bird feeding comparable to the unethical and often illegal practice of baiting raptors? Yesterday’s post caused at least some confusion on that subject so I’d like to set the record straight.
A Fruit-eating Yellow Warbler
Yellow Warblers are known to eat insects and spiders almost exclusively. This one didn’t get the message.
Female Lazuli Bunting Feeding On Serviceberries
Western Grebe Family – A Little Too Eager For Food
A Flight Shot, A Takeoff And A Squabble From Yesterday Morning
Cedar Waxwing In Flight – A Work In Progress
Live and learn is what they say but on this occasion a brain fart led to my downfall. I should have known better.
A Butterfingered Western Tanager
A Possible Yellow Warbler Strategy For Feeding On Aphids
It’s only a working theory but I believe it’s based on fairly strong circumstantial evidence.
American Goldfinch on Musk Thistle
And an interesting goldfinch strategy for combating brood parasitism of the Brown-headed Cowbird.
A Completely Clueless Yellow Warbler
When it comes to being aware of their surroundings birds don’t miss much but this little fella was an exception. Color him clueless.
Barn Swallow Adult And Recent Fledgling – Feeding Acrobatics
When adult swallows are feeding youngsters in flight their aerial maneuvers are usually precise. But occasionally someone screws up.
Closeups Of A Willow Flycatcher With A Wasp
Spotted Sandpiper Chicks And Behaviors
Three days ago I found the Spotted Sandpiper chicks again and they were closer than they were last time.
Black-chinned Hummingbird Feeding On Bee Plant
A different species this time, Black-chinned instead of the Broad-tailed Hummingbirds I’ve been posting lately.
