Here are a few photos I've taken over the past few days of visitors to the yard in the evening while I'm enjoying dinner out on the patio. This is a Cedar Waxwing. There were two of them enjoying a shower in a sprinkler I had running on one of the flowerbeds. Such a beautiful bird!
We have lots of American Goldfinch visiting the feeders. I think they are nesting in the tall trees down near the barn. This one came to rest on a branch near the feeders...
...and this one, on the hook the feeder hangs from. I am really enjoying feeding the wild birds this year.
Beautiful birds. I'm a bird watcher also. I put seed in the feeder every morning and watch them while I drink my coffee on the patio. I have Cardinals & Red Winged blackbirds. I'm waiting on my hummingbirds Thanks for sharing.

Anna, the birds are beginning their spring chorus here in Nebraska as well. I haven't seen quite the colorful birds that you have pictures of in this post but their singing is second to none. Especially, at 5am when I'm getting ready to head out to the garden. Morning nature sounds are the best, don't you think?
Have a great bird watching day.

I adore the little topknot on the cedar waxwing's head. They eat berries out of the trees surrounding our office building. We're on the second floor of the building and get to watch them out our windows.

We also have cedar waxwing and gold finch. I see lots of the finch at my feeders. But only glimpse the Waxwings at Sis's in her cedar and crabapples trees come fall.
