Little Chickadees Visiting My Feeders




Hello y'all!

The beautiful little Carolina chickadees (Poecile carolinensis) are probably one of my favorite backyard visitors to my feeders. The closer we get to winter, the more of them will begin to arrive in groups.

These tiny visitors are very common throughout the American Southland, and are not to be confused with their more Northern and Canadian cousins, the
black-capped chickadee (Poecile atricapillus) although the two species are known to crossbreed in places where their ranges overlap in North America.

The following are the photos I took of these birds over the first week of October of this year.

Beautiful Male Northern Cardinals In My Backyard


Greetings Y'all!

I'm starting off October with some wonderful shot of the beautiful male Northern Cardinals (Cardinalis cardinalis) that visited my backyard bird feeders over the weekend.

In my last post at the end of September, it was the brown and tan female Cardinals that paid my backyard a visit. This time it was this lovely pair of bright red and black male Cardinals that came to sample the good seeds. They seem to love sunflower seeds in particular.

The following are photos I took of these lovely feathered creatures at the beginning of this month:
