Spring Birds





Last week the Black-Headed Grosbeaks returned from their winter migration down to Mexico, Central America and South America!


The males are so bright and colorful!







These are males.  The female is muted in its coloring.









I am unable to indentify this new bird to our feeders.  Does anyone out there know what this is?  It is fairly large in size.



Another shot to help you identify it :-)



We have also seen a number of Dark-eyed Junco fledglings recently.  The Juncos spent the winter here, so must have nested here also.
