The goldfinches have been regular visitors for a while, especially since we bought the nyjer seed feeder. This weekend, though, there were even more than usual, feeding throughout the day.
A new visitor though was this Eastern Phoebe. Not really very interested in the feeders as this bird is a fly-catcher. The perches over the feeders seemed to be a good launch point for them.
We heard lots of birdsong in the trees and with the help of a long lens were able to identify a flock of Waxwings who seemed to be passing through. This is the first time that we have ever come across these birds.
These photos were 'grab shots' through the mesh of the screened part of the porch, which unfortunately makes them rather out of focus.
Our third new bird of the weekend - again photographed through the mesh - was this male Summer Grosbeak.
The female is not so colourful..
A busy weekend on the feeders! We saw some of our 'regulars' too..
