A Lapland Longspur ( my first ) and a Savannah Sparrow.

Buttertubs Marsh

Out today under cloudy conditions, just right for birding. I observed the following. Pied-billed Grebe, Wood Duck, Red-winged Blackbird, Marsh Wren, Common Yellowthroat, Yellow Warbler, Chestnut-backed Chickadee, Cedar Waxwing, European Collared Dove, Northern Flicker, Downy Woodpecker, American Robin, Swainsons Thrush, Song Sparrow, Spotted Towhee, House Sparrow.

I was very fortunate to be able to capture these shots of a male Downy feeding his young.

Flatfish for Breakfast

I've just filled the hummingbird feeder before having breakfast with the rain beating down in high winds and wondering if I'll have the chance to do some birding today and one of our resident eagles brings in his own meal.
