OK, yesterday I put out a couple of feeders in my backyard. I have been wanting to fill the ones in the front yard but eversince our german shepherd killed that sparrow the other day I just didnt think that would be a good idea. SO I put them in the backyard instead. It is fenced-in and the dogs cant get back there, but I can see them perfectly from the window here by the computer!
So I get up this morning and I go look,,,,,,no birds. But it IS raining so I just thought that was the reason for no birds right now,,,,,,,,BUT I came back later, after breakfast and LOOK what I SAW!!!! A BLUE GROSBEAK!!!(they are related to the Cardinal,,,can you tell?) I used to have a bunch of these in the spring (along with goldfinches) But I figured I had just lost my opportunity this year,,,,,,,,,,I showed it to my daughter and she said "Yeah, but look at the 2 birds on the ground!" They were sparrows,,,,,,she was more excited over those than the Blue Grosbeak. LOL
(p.s. Check out the website I added today! Thats also where I got this picture! http://www.birds.cornell.edu/AllAboutBirds/birding123/)
