Uncommon Birds and Squirrels

Yesterday’s trip to Nolde was unfortunately pretty inactive. There appeared to be more squirrels than there was birds hanging around the feeders. All the birds that were around chose to hang out on the feeder furthest to the right of all the other feeders, as opposed to the bigger feeder closer to the window. Fortunately, although we did not get to see large groups of Chickadees or Tufted Titmice, we did get to see our first Blue Jay, and I got to see my first female red-bellied woodpecker. I could not get pictures of these, but it was especially neat to see the less common birds at the feeders. I also witnessed a large group of Morning Doves, five total, where before I had only ever seen perhaps one or two.

 Here is a picture of a Morning Dove (just underneath the plant).

 Same Dove, just a little more to the left of the plant. 

 The feeder, though obscure, is in this picture (deep in the back of the picture; middle of the picture).
