Fern recently installed a bird feeder in the back yard and I took some time yesterday to observe the surprisingly busy traffic. As well as trying out some new shooting techniques it also enabled me to continue with my quest to learn to distinguish all those little brown birds that populate our environment. Below are four that I have tentatively identified. If you're a birder, please feel free to correct me as I'm still not very confident when it comes to these little brown birds.
Mistakenly identified as a Pine Siskin. (See note * below) | House Finch |
Fox Sparrow | Dark-eyed Junco |

I would love to put a feeder out; maybe then I'd get to see a cardinal. They never come to my yard. My mom's got loads of them.
Beautiful shots!
I see so many birds, but actually identifying them is another story...
Birdfeeders are great, and what seeds or nuts are put out will determine who shows up.
