Wildlife in our back yard.


This is a juvenile hawk on our back porch last summer.









Here you can see the color is coming back to the Goldfinches. Did this Cardinal use too much lipstick?









This little guy is either a Downy Woodpecker or
a Hairy Woodpecker. They're virtually identical except for size.






This is a Northern Flicker, never seen here before or since. We had to look it up to figure out what it was. We first thought it to be a woodpecker.

Your camera is great! I've noticed the goldfinches changing too. I watch for that every year. I also listen to the change in their songs. It seemed a little late to me this year but is in full swing now. This is the main tiime you hear the cardinals and early morning robins.
