As per the rules, this last challenge is supposed to be photos we have not posted before. Like Tina, many of my photos are plants and critters, from my back yard first, then other places. We are fortunate to have a yard with plants that turn gorgeous colors in Autumn, especially our Japanese Maple trees. …

Junco learned to use the tail rest! You’re welcome.
I was just outside in my backyard, cleaning and refilling our birdbath and watering the plants. When I was done, I got out my phone, so I could watch the birds and maybe get some photos. I was amply rewarded! The yard was full of Nuthatches, Juncos and some Chickadees, and these photos are taken …
On my walk outside the building where I work, I heard a bird chirping. See who I found. You can tell the adult bird is a male by his black head. We have these birds year-round.
This last Photo Challenge of 2023 is supposed to be your best photos of the year. I think I was exceptionally fortunate to be on the roof of the Bellevue Square parking garage on a clear day at the end of December. The Mountain (Mount Rainier) was out in all its splendor. I'm proud of …

At least, in our backyard they do. On Thursday, while waiting for our roast to cook, I sat at the kitchen table and watched our feathered friends in the yard. We had both kinds of Chickadees (Black-capped and Chestnut-backed), Red-shafted Flickers, Juncos, Varied Thrushes, and Song Sparrows. The Flickers are very skittish, and fly away …

I love the snow! We had a little yesterday, but it is really coming down today. And our backyard has been hopping with birds all day long. Today, we have seen the following: Varied Thrush, Dark-eyed Junco, Song Sparrow, Rufous-sided Towhee, Common Bushtit, Black-capped Chickadee, and Chestnut-backed Chickadee. This morning, I went outside and stood …
My back yard is teeming with local wildlife, and I try to get photos of as many creatures as I can. We have a seed bird-feeder, and two suet feeders; one with regular suet, and one with a hot-pepper suet that squirrels hate but the birds love. This pair of Steller's Jays drank from the …

These are only the ones I caught in photos. The Townsend's Warbler came by, but I didn't have the camera ready. Steller's Jay. Visit my Rumble site for video. There are two Juncos in the photo. Can you find them both? Again, video on Rumble This little Red-breasted Nuthatch is one of my favorites, and …
Let's see, am I a Bird Feeder? The photos and video below should give the answer. Pine Siskin. Downy Woodpecker. Blurry since I took the picture through a glass door. Red-breasted Nuthatch. Various birds at the seed and suet feeders, in the snow. Red-shafted Flicker. Top: Townsend's Warbler. This is one of my very favorite …
