We saw several new birds today, but they came and went before we could identify them. I think they must be various types of finches and sparrows. I got a picture of our red bellied woodpecker, though again, I wish my camera could do a better job. I put today's arrivals (the ones I could identify) in bold.

I have found it is best, if you can, to snap pictures (even blurry ones). I've only been taking pictures for a day or so, but they have helped me go back and reference what I saw when I am looking at the field guides later. We're having so much fun doing this. I used to hate my large front window, now, I am beginning to love it!!! :)
I like the titmouse, too. And, he seems to like us. We were surprised to find one staring down at us from his perch today. We didn't even realize he was there, a few feet away... I guess that might be how he feels when he catches us watching him. LOL.
