"HE" Did Come Back!


A couple of weeks ago I had a post about
a female Red-breasted Grosbeak,
and had indicated that I had not seen
any males this year.

Well look who is waiting to get a chance at the feeder!


This little Chipping Sparrow usually feeds on the ground
but apparently took a chance and flew up to the feeder,
and wasn't about to give up her spot.



Mr. Red-Breasted Grosbeak finally got
his chance to eat.

Is there anything good up there?



However, not everyone made him feel welcome--
Especially not this Downy woodpecker.


Finally he had his chance.
I have seen him a couple of times since.
























This momma Robin has also been visiting my backyard lately.
Usually I see Robins in my front yard but not in the back.
Maybe she has a bunch of hungry mouths to feed
and decided to see why all the other birds like the backyard.
