Bird Sightings

For all the bird geeks out there.... you know who you are!
Julia spread some bird seed along the top of our deck railing recently and we've been getting quite a few visitors. Our favorite ones are these cardinals. They've been with us all winter, but this is the closest we've been to them. They are very quick to fly away if there is any movement, so we have to be very careful and very slow, but I managed to get my camera and take a couple of shots. I feel lucky to have this shot of the two of them together.
The little lady looks like she's giving her guy an earful!
While I'm at it, I thought I'd throw in a few pictures that Kevin and Natalie took while they were out on a walk.
A woodpecker....

and a pair of mallard ducks.

I love the birds! I'm keeping my eye out for the goldfinches at work. I saw some last summer.
