Birds 

Enjoy our backyard with us :) All these birds shown on the next two pages are birds in our backyard. We have now added a Hummingbird and Oriole feeder to the food supply we currently give to the birds. We have also added a Martin house to our collection of bird houses in hopes to attract a new species.

The formula  for attracting birds is rather simple. If you provide the 4 basic essentials,  food, water and shelter, and even dirt in the winter, you will be noticing  more fine feathered friends and a larger variety, in your backyard.

As you all know I asked if this bird was a Brewers Blackbird, or Common Grackle. Your response has been 100% for the Common Grackle. Thanks for your feedback ;)

I would like to point out the difference in colors from winter colors (shown on left) to spring/summer colors (shown on right) with these yellow finches. They were very scruffy looking a month ago ;)
