I'm starting a new series this week with the birds at my feeders and in the trees. I seem to enjoy having series so here goes another.
The pink-billed Juncos have been on my deck eating seeds this week. They like to eat sunflower hearts.
The Dark-eyed Junco is a star with his pic on the cover of Birds and Blooms.
This male Downy Woodpecker seems to be loving the bark on our birch trees.

The red-bellied woodpecker is visiting too. Although I haven't seen him in a while, I'm happy to see this male at the suet feeder. The male has a solid red cap while the female has a bit of a gray cap.
This feeder is filled with a nut and berry mix for the house finches and goldfinches below.
I bet you recognize this female bird just by looking at her sharp crest and redish/orangish beak.
You guessed it, the female Northern Cardinal.
The male Northern Cardinal.
The White-breasted Nuthatches are seen year round in Kentucky. They are fun to watch as they usually eat upside down or sideways.
The Goldfinches love the thistle feed.
The Tufted Titmouse is another common bird at my feeders. He is very quick to grab a seed and fly to a nearby branch to crack it with his sharp bill and enjoy. He always seems to have his eye on you will his large black eye.
I am seeing some purple finches at the feeders but haven't gotten any great shots. Thanks for stopping by - Judy.

You have some amazing captures here. As someone who has photographed birds off and on over the years I know that it takes time, patience, and editing....for every good photo I had about 10-20 bad ones. It's much appreciated to see yours / I know the time put in to it :)
