I had been planning on driving somewhere to look for birds, but the cold
kept me at home. I'm glad I stayed. I was in my backyard photographing the
everyday Black-capped Chickadees, House Finches, & Dark-eyed Juncos when the
Chickadees started to make a ruckus. They mobbed a bush near the creek in my
backyard. And there was the Northern Shrike. It stayed for about 15 minutes
before they drove it off.
Not much more for backyard birds today. House Sparrows, House Finches,
Northern Cardinals, White-breasted Nuthatches, Downy Woodpeckers,
Red-bellied Woodpecker, & Dark-eyed Juncos. I haven't seen the Fox Sparrows
or Whie-throated Sparrows since the snow melted.
Here's a photo of the Northern Shrike;
