Ah, Some New Birds

Not new to the yard but rarely seen on the Birdcam at this location. The House Finches usually stay at the front feeder (I would put the cam there but fear it would be stolen) or on the side yard where I was capturing images of them earlier in the year. It was nice to see one out back and feeding with the larger birds.



Every now and then Red-bellied Woodpeckers venture down from their tree branches and try to snatch a quick supplement to their mostly insect diets. I have seen it while staring outside but I don't think I have had it caught by the Birdcam.



We have been quite dry and very hot around here for the past couple of weeks. Finally, the rains have returned to out afternoons and helping to cool us down out of the high 90s. Birds seem to be enjoying it, too.



Only problem with the rain is that is makes a mess of the feeders more quickly. Oh, well. At least we are not sweating all day!
