Christmas, cameras, kids, etc... all just excuses, I know, since everyone else had all of this and more. I guess I've felt a bit overwhelmed with it all, and so now, that's the end of my sob story and things are getting back to normal, yehhh! <BR/><BR/>I really enjoyed reading about your birds! I'm very impressed with how much you know!

The little Siskins appear to be such shy, wallflower sort of birds, but we have had a few males and some have been spreading their wings to display quite a surprising yellow pattern underneath.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your comment about my Eagle today. We decided we should use up some MacDonald breakfast coupons we had, and so we had gone birding after that. The eagle was a lucky sighting.<BR/><BR/>Love your mention of bird species east vs. west in your post.me ann my camerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06083671096943783249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5091316613928276649.post-51878668857964742932009-01-10T12:31:00.000-05:002009-01-10T12:31:00.000-05:00Thanks for the 50 birds link.

Guess I'm going to have to spend more time finding out about our winged friends in this area.

I've never heard of Redpolls. Guess they are a 'northern' bird. The little guy to the left looks like a House Finch to me (or maybe a Purple Finch)--but who knows since I'm new to this birding myself.<BR/><BR/>Have a great weekend.<BR/>Hugs,<BR/>BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.com
