Dark-Eyed Junco… maybe a small bird, but have a very distinct look about them. Small, short, and chubby. #bird #junco #birdwatching #photography #wildlife

White Breasted Nuthatch
White Breasted Nuthatch… These little tree clinging birds resemble Woodpeckers. They even act like them… Not quite a woodpecker but still a beautiful bird. #bird #nuthatch #photography #wildlife #outdoors

House Sparrow
House Sparrow, very common bird. However up close and personal. If you actually look at the markings it’s kind of like a bandit back in the Wild West days. #sparrow #bird #photography #outdoors #wildlife

Dual House Finches
These guys are regular visitors to my feeders. At one point there were probably 12 of them. Not to mention about 20 Sparrows. #finch #birds #housefinch #photography #wildlife

A Little Downy
Downy Woodpeckers may be small, but they are still beautiful to see. This male I believe is a regular visitor to my birdfeeders. #birds #woodpeckers #downy #photography #wildlife
