I got a bird guide for Christmas, so I spent yesterday morning looking out the dining room window through the telephoto lens of Pat's camera trying to identify the regulars and snap their pictures. Here are the highlights:
The cast of Cirque du Squirlé.
There were plenty of sparrows. A nuthatch and a couple of tufted titmice showed up.

A family of slate-colored dark-eyed juncos came and went a few times.

And the pair of bluejays -- the only ones brave enough to take on the squirrels.


A mockingbird was hanging out in the bushes.

And I finally identified the woodpecker. It's a female red-bellied woodpecker.

Daisy was sent out on squirrel-chasing expeditions throughout the day.
