A few photos and videos from the deck cam out back. This is a male Brown-headed Cowbird with a Mourning Dove behind him. I've noticed that they don't seem to mind sharing the birdseed.
The female Cardinal makes an appearance in the next photo. It seems like she is checking out the camera.
In the video you will see the Cardinal pop in and in the background there is a Red-bellied Woodpecker and a Blue Jay that flies in.

I added this photo as I liked the pretty feather pattern from the back.
Another video showing her back feathers.
Here's her mate. I get a lot of Cardinals visiting every day.
They are a bright little bird with lots of personality.
would that they knew we were watching!

DeleteHello, great series of your yard birds. The camera takes wonderful photos and videos.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy day!
Thank you Eileen, happy day to you too :)
DeleteI can't tell you how much I enjoy watching the vids and the stills. with the camera perfectly still and no human shaky hands, the details are so beautiful to see
ReplyDeleteSo glad Sandra, take all those factors out and we get a pretty decent picture. My own get so blurry at times :)
Deletethese are wonderful denise!! i enjoyed the videos, it seems the woodpecker hung around for a while. i have one visiting my feeders every day but i just can't get a picture of him!!!
ReplyDeleteit seems the birds are quite curious of the camera, like you said!!!
Thank you Debbie, I think they see a light or a click or something. The ones who look directly into the camera really amuse me :)
DeleteThey're so much fun to see like this.
ReplyDeleteI agree William, thank you :)
DeleteSo beautiful, Denise. The quiet beauty of your videos is lovely to experience. Seeing all the birds in harmony is wonderful. We humans need a lesson. ♥
