    Back yard visitors

    We have several bird feeders in our back yard and it is always a roll of the dice to see what shows up every morning. This morning was a little unusual in the volume of animals that visited. Here is just a couple. The squirrels don't settle for just the sunflower seeds in the bowl on the ground. Nope, they have to go aerobatic and eat the bird seed too. Good entertainment while drinking the first cup of morning coffee.

    The first one is definitely a warbler, I'm thinking Blackburnian Warbler

    I just looked it up. It is called a Townsend's Warbler.

    Brian...I am the same, I go out to my deck in the morning and sit down for a while even if I do not drink coffee. I have three bird feeders but I only got one out for now until we come back from our trip. It is usually a guessing game which ones will turn up in the morning as I wait for the dogs to finish doing their duties. I cannot help you with the IDs but I like that second one there. I have not seen that in my backyard.

    It must be really enjoyable to watch those visitors in the morning I love the squirrel shot.
