Birds we've seen


Joey has lately been somewhat interested in the birds in our yard, so I dug out my old bird book from high school to see if we can identify them. We have quite a few Oregon Juncos at our feeder. They are cute little birds that are often in pairs or groups.





A couple weeks ago, Joey heard tapping out in our birch tree, and there he saw a downy woodpecker, who came back to the same tree for three days in a row. He actually made some decent sized holes in our tree.
















One day we saw a Northern Flicker...I had never seen one before and it was quite a neat looking bird. He even pecked the ground looking for bugs.
