on the bird walk ........

Sandhill Cranes
are probably nesting nearby..
one appearing early morning 
and the other in the afternoon......

the larger one...  the male always 
pecks on the pantry window...... and just stares ..
Eastern Bluebirds ...
frequent visitors to the feeder poles....
occasionally sharing their lunch...

 
 Brown Headed Cowbird ......
small blackbirds.....
the female is plain brown..
lacking the male's glossy black body and 
distinctive brown head...

 American Goldfinch ...
wild canary..

during mating season the male
has bright yellow body and a 
black cap..

the female lacks the black cap and
has dull brown coloring
