It is ironic how when I got into photography and my 365 blog, I also got into a little bit of bird watching. One of my co-workers is an avid bird watcher, so I brought some of my photos to the office to ask her what type of birds these are at my feeder. At first I thought this bird was a house finch, but after Laura's comment and a closer look, I realized that this is not a house finch. It is actually a cow bird. And she's right about another thing, between the cow birds and the squirrels, they are raiding my bird feeder. I wish I could get rid of the crazy squirrels and if these birds keep away the other pretty birds, then they can head further south too!
I am still disappointed in my bird pics, but I can't get very close to them. :-( The blue jays and cardinals are the most skiddish of the ones in my yard.
Looks like a stupid cow bird to me ... brown head, black body... dislike those birds. They raid my feeder and run off the other birds. On a lighter note, good to see you coming back. I hope everything is getting better and you have a good weekend.
ReplyDelete@Laura Delegal - I think you might be right, now that I take a closer look. The one's that she told me were house finches were smaller birds--looked a little different. This could be why my bird seed is disappearing by the bucket fulls.
