New Yard, New Birds

Our new backyard is chock full of birds! A few highlights include a Red-tailed Hawk that we see every day (yesterday it was perched on our mailbox!), two kinds of nuthatches: White Breasted and Red Breasted, Juncos, Sapsuckers, and a huge flock of Yellow-rumped Warblers.

We just put up a few bird feeders last week. For the first 6 days the squirrels had their way them, but yesterday the birds finally found them!

Here is a White Breasted Nuthatch stocking up on the black oiled sunflower seeds:
