This past Thursday, during our horrible heatwave, we finally did get a little rain here in Fairfield Glade. And what happens after the rain?????????? The birdies come to the feeder to get a bite to eat!!!!!! It happens every time we get some rain!!
I stood there watching them for only about 15 minutes ... And of course, I just HAD to take some pictures to show YOU!!!! (Aren't I so sweet????) .... WELL---the good news is that in that short period of time, I got 3 pictures of some of our latest backyard BABIES!!!!!
Here are seven pictures of my sweet little backyard birds!!!! Above is an adorable picture of an immature NORTHERN CARDINAL. Isn't he just the cutest little bird?
Several of you enjoyed seeing a female Goldfinch in my last bird blog... SO---today, I hope you enjoy the gorgeous male GOLDFINCH. We have more Goldfinches this summer than we have ever had.. There must be several families of them around here --and they all must have had a bunch of babies!!!!
This is a BROWN THRASHER. They love to come to the suet feeder.. Look at that beak!!!!
I love this little guy... He is an immature male DOWNY WOODPECKER. Can you tell that he is beginning to get some red on the top of his head ---which shows that he is a male?
I don't see these birds very often, but when they do visit, they also like the suet. He is a GRAY CATBIRD.
I never tire of seeing this gorgeous bird and they are regulars at the feeders --off and on all day long. He is a gorgeous male NORTHERN CARDINAL.
Finally, here is my favorite picture of the group today... This little guy is an immature RED- BELLIED WOODPECKER. Isn't he just gorgeous??? I'm not totally sure that this one is male, but I think he is...
Hope you enjoyed today's Backyard Birdies at my home...
Hugs,
