Birds!

These Goldfinches are showing their spring plumage. Quite a change from the "brown finches" of winter. During breeding season Goldfinches take on their bolder yellow-gold color. The male on the left shows his black mask. This is a sure sign of spring.

The birds on our bird bath are Cedar Waxwings. They are beautiful birds with silky brown color, a crest and a black mask. They have the distinctive red tips on their wings and yellow and blue colors decorating them. They are usually in flocks and eat lots of berries.

The bluebird likes our yard because we have good food as well as a bluebird nest box. Soon, a bluebird couple will start building a nest in the box. That's a sure sign of spring.

Goldfinches are one of the favorite birds at our feeders. These are still wearing their winter plumage. I hope to have some pictures of finches as their colors change soon.
