Backyard Birds

This year has brought in some new backyard bids for me. I think it's because the Autumn Olives Trees were taken out and opened up the yard. It's great to sit in my new sunroom space and watch their antics. I would love to have more species find my backyard as time goes on. Ive seen Northern Cardinals, House Sparrows, Common Crackles, European Starlings, Mourning Doves, Yellow-rumped Warblers, Cooper's Hawks, Brown Thrashers and in summer - Hummingbirds.    Northern Cardinal (left)
