This Is For the Birds

I'm a bird watcher ♪♫

Watchin' birds fly by ♫♪♫
My, my, my ♪♫....
Here comes one now ♪♫♪♫♪ 
From the time I was a little kid, I've enjoyed watching birds.  I remember Dad making huge feeding areas right outside our picture window.  Dad could also identify many birds by their song, and would point them out to us. The only birds I really don't care for are common house sparrows and starlings, both imported, if what I've read is true. Another imported nuisance, multi-flora rose!  But, I digress.
I feed the birds all year, but they're easier to shoot (photograph) when the trees and shrubs have no foliage.
So, here are a few of my feathered friends:

Red Bellied Woodpecker
Cardinal
Bluejay is quite the "ham"
Downy Woodpecker
Chickadee sneaking in to get a bite before the Red Bellied Woodpecker chases him off
Bluejay and Red Bellied Woodpecker
