Pretty in pink

Looking out on a frozen world, it is fun to look at pics like this.  It was taken near the end of June in 2011.

Fox sparrow

We still see this little guy every now and then.  But not near as often as all the others.  Notice how he has dug away the snow to get to the seeds.  I think he must not normally come into the city to eat.  Probably only comes here because we are so close to the edge of town.  Also, I wonder if there are things that distinguish a male from a female.

Harbinger of spring

I was so surprised and excited when I looked out under the feeders and saw this robin.  It's the first I have saw in our neighborhood since last summer.
The same robin, just a little different view.

Nuthatch in snow

A photo from back in January...I don't know why I haven't posted it before.  I thought since we have more snow moving in starting tomorrow night, I might as well post another snow picture.
