A Happy Father’s Day to all the wonderful dads out there!  Especially to my wonderful husband.  Thank you for all you do for us. <3

My husband has front row views of the bird feeders out our living room window, and has been getting some photos, as well.  He got a bunch from yesterday.

The feeders had masses of goldfinches on them for the past while, with the occasional nuthatch popping by.  Yesterday, they were outnumbered by another bird.  I’d thought they were some of the ones we’ve been seeing for a while, until I could see the yellow in their wings.

From what I’ve been able to find, they are pine siskins – and they sure love the platform feeder!

This morning, the crowd of them was back.  Just as I was getting up to take some photos, they got chased away by this guy…

Finally, I was able to get a good photo of a blue jay!  For the past while, I’ve found myself wondering if they can somehow feel the camera’s sensor, because as soon as I try to focus on them, they fly off. :-D

I am thinking of looking over the area in front of the living room window to see if there is level ground closer to the house I can move the feeder to, so we can see them better without having to zoom in so much with the camera. :-)
