But a few others too. Most of these were taken in the past week.





Here a goldfinch has a feather that is bothering him.


So he just pulls it out, then wipes his bill to get it off


Here you can see the feather on the limb, just to his left.






And to close it out, here are a few more bluebirds.

Another great set Dave,

I especially like the open-wing shots.
Sounds like you've got more of your clan still around than we do now... We're currently seeing Missy, Mr.B, and 2 each of our boy and girl birds (6 total). But they do all still come everyday and spend pretty much all day long around the yard.

Beautiful photos as always,

Kenn

Great photos David - my favorite is the fourth from the bottom - I haven't seen a bluebird in my yard in months (SAD)
