Sparrow

Spotted this sparrow at Little Cat yesterday, Feb. 23, 2008. Turns out to be a song sparrow, not many seen during winter in our area.

Red-breasted nuthatch

1. Down at the local park there are flocks of chickadees that have become tame enough to take sunflower seeds from peoples' hands. This winter a red-breasted nutchatch has joined them, and has come to me several times over my visits this past month to pluck seeds from my hand. 'Tis difficult to hold a camera and catch a decent picture of these nimble little birds, but I managed to get this shot.
