This friendly little Purple Finch flew into the yard last weekend and preceded to check out all the feeders and hang around for a bit before he disappeared. The White Crown Sparrow immediately challenged him when he landed on this particular feeder. The Finch was not intimidated in the least and the Sparrow soon gave up and left the feeder to the Finch.
I saw this beautiful bird about 3 hours out of Sao Paolo in the Atlantic Forrest. Humming birds are just jewels of nature. I am in love with them.
Bitterly cold weather and the birds need feeding. Are you helping ? They need the water too. Try to keep it from freezing.
It is a CD of jazz that I bought new.
It is a beautiful bird.

Thanks and recognition goes to JoesSistha where I found Free texture pr1t15.1 for the texture overlay used in my photo.
Interesting bird nests... I had never seen any like this before. Not sure what birds these are built by.

He finally got a chance for some suet at the feeder this morning; all the other birds were taking over, but Pygmy Nuthatch waited his turn. I love these small birds.
The pygmy nuthatch is a tiny songbird, about 10 cm long and about 10 grams in weight.
They live in pine forests in western North America; they especially favor mature ponderosa pine forests. They are typically found at lower and middle elevations where ponderosa pine grows, but can sometimes occur up to 10,000 feet. We are at a very low elevation here.

rare bird..........reported to be only the 2nd sighting of this species in BC as well as the second in Canada -the first several years back in New Westminster, BC....usually N. Asia & NE Europe from Finland to Siberia & south to Japan....
As a youngster one of the first birds I can remember seeing was a Gannet effortlessly overtaking the ferry taking us to Islay in Scotland. Not long after I was on a boat near Bass Rock in the Firth of Forth with them diving into the water all around us for fish and I was hooked.
Over the years I've learnt its official name was Northern Gannet and its scientific name became Morus bassanus, (I still prefer the more evocative local name of Solan Goose and Sula bassana)
I can spend hours at Bempton Cliffs watching them soar back and forth, its probably just as well I don't live closer or I'd be there a lot more than once a year !
The development of my photography skills could probably be tracked through all my old Gannet photos right back to trying to convince the family that the white specs taken with a basic point and shoot film camera at Bass Rock were birds !
