It's been a while since I've posted bird pictures, so here we go ...
A red breasted nuthatch - such a cute little bird! He's very hard to photograph because he moves so quickly and seems wary of the camera at the window. And yet, when Bill attempted to hand-feed the chickadees the other day, this little guy came and gave a look!
In comparison, here is the white-breasted nuthatch, who is larger and less timid than his smaller cousin.
This is one of the Carolina Wrens that live near our house. Their song is incredible. Very shy and fast to flight.
Of course no one is as camera-friendly as the black-capped chickadee!
Also bold and social, here's the tufted titmouse. Below you see a pair of them on a nearby branch, cracking open their seeds:

Look at this handsome purple finch! He and his colorful crowd seem to be making a return to the feeders after a summer away.
And finally, here's our downy woodpecker, enjoying the suet in the setting autumn sun. :)
What birds have you spotted lately? Any newcomers to speak of? November is a perfect time to refill your feeders and prepare for a winter's worth of bird watching!
