Got a few more pics of some of the birds and animals in the garden. It is like Heathrow Airport with all the birds coming and going and at the moment the garden resembles a zoo. As I type we have three rabbits, about six chipmunks, three squirrels and lots of birds running around.
This is the chipmunk getting onto the bird feeder, then struggling to get to one of the higher openings.
This is the female Towhee who is brown whereas the male (previous post) is black.
And a grackle
Female grosbeak
I have managed to get photos of the female cardinal on the deck before, but the male is much more nervous and so any movement from us and he is off. However Chris managed to get a couple of pics yesterday.
We also have lots of squirrels about and they are all losing their winter coats and replacing it with finer, thiner summer coats. Trouble is they all look really tatty at the moment.
We have also seen the return of some of our other birds such as the towhee pictured below and the grosbeaks and also the thrashers. Of course there are always blue jays.
