Woodpecker

Yesterday I recognized another beautiful bird in our tree in the garden. It was a small bird with a remarkable red cockscomb and white and black feathers. After looking at the internet I found out it must be a woodpecker. Today he was high in the tree but thanks to our great Sony camera I could zoom it close enough to take pictures.

A new guest in our garden

Yesterday I sat on my deck and suddenly I heard a loud twittering coming from our tree. I looked up and saw a bright yellow bird sitting on a branch. It was attacked by the red robin couple because they consider our backyard their home turf. I was delighted and sad at the same time. But later that day it came back. Unfortunately I wasn't fast enough to get a shot but this morning I saw it again and here it is, our new guest: A California Warbler

Blue Heros haben auch Hunger

Inzwischen füttern wir jeden Morgen Eichhörnchen und nun gesellen sich die ersten Zaungäste in der Versorgungskette dazu. Wir nennen sie Blue Heros. Sie sehen der deutschen Elster ähnlich, haben aber einen wunderschönen Kopfschmuck und sind brilliante Jäger.
