Chick-a-dee-dee...and other backyard birds

Click on the name of the bird (hotlink) to go to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology website "All About Birds." Their bird guides are extensive. You can even play the sounds of the birds. Very cool.
Red-breasted Nuthatch
Chickadee

Everyone loves the Chickadee. I actually have the pleasure of living on Chickadee Lane and it is one of my favorite birds. We have many on our riparian property.



The top-left photo is a Red-breasted Nuthatch looking for some lunch.


The two lower photos are Evening Grosbeaks, sometimes called "Gros-pigs."
