Backyard Birds

Here are a few pictures of the feathered friends who visit often (and eat us out of house & home!). Too bad I haven't been able to photograph the hummingbirds. Of course we have plenty of sparrows, titmice, and chickadees who frequent our diner. The male blue jay is starting to detract from the feast. I'll have to try to photograph some of our water birds as the weather warms.
