Wild Bird Wednesday

Quite a day for me today!

My first


Violet-green Swallow


Preening here and 


Preening there



Beautiful little thing!!

Then


While not a first I've never had so many Evening Grosbeak at my feeder.
I managed to get 6 of them in this shot but there were at least a dozen or more.


This lovely young man was waiting his turn up in the tree,
gave me a wonderful portrait!
 
My yard is absolutely teaming with them, I saw a good dozen under my feeder this afternoon when I got home from work and I can hear many more in the trees!!
I'm more than excited to have so many of these beauties around me this year.

  7. Neat shots. Love the Swallow series. Preening!!
    We have tons of Black-headed Grosbeak but no evening grosbeaks. Weird, huh! MB

  8. Oh my gosh, incredible yard birds, wow!! I can't believe you got such good shots of the swallows sitting still...they never do that for me. And the goldfinch are wonderful and make me homesick for the Pacific Northwest.
