Backyard Birds

We had heard that the Lazuli Buntings were here but had not seen any and worried that they had passed through while we were on vacation - but not so!  They showed up in force these last few days, as skittish and beautiful as I remembered!



Along with them came a Goldfinch, brilliant in it's colors.  We had just seen a bunch of them in North Carolina and were surprised to see one out here.  But they are here eating the Nijah seeds along with the pine siskins and lesser goldfinchs that we normally get.


The biggest and best news is that we saw our first hummingbird and quickly cooked up syrup and put up the feeder!  We'll see if I can get any shots of them!
