Not a great photo, but what a view! Unfortunately this male Rufous hummingbird didn’t stick around long enough for me to get better photos.

We have a pair of Song sparrows in the yard this spring. Hopefully it’s a mating pair and they will nest somewhere in the area. (These photos are probably all of the same bird. The other is somewhat lighter.)

We also have a pair of Spotted towhees in the yard.

We also have a pair of Northern flickers that visit the yard, but we see the male (pictured here) much more often. Note those stiff tail feathers that the bird uses to brace itself against trees.

And finally, not a bird but a visitor who twice visited the yard today.
