Going broke buying bird feed..

We had a few days of spring like temps, but has gone back to winter. I think the snow covered ground is bringing in a lot of birds.

Have lots more species around not pictured. These were taken under the wood shed roof.

my wife is bankrupting me buying bird seed, be careful the seed will also attract rats

pretty birds! We don't get Evening Grosbeaks here, I would love to see one. And aren't the little ones Pine Siskins? I recognize the house finch.. nice pictures!

Beautiful pictures. Around here, you would be setting up a smorgasbord for the cats.

Great photo's Ron, really . What are the birds, species wise, we don't seem to have them over here as far as I can tell. Some look a little bit like our house sparrow and the others (with the big beaks) are similar to our hawfinch

I think all three are the finch family......Ron?

I'm not sure but think they are all in the Finch family.

Hammered and NG,

The bigger yellow ones are Evening Grosbeaks, and the others are house finches and pine siskins. The pine siskins look very similar to the female house finches, but only about half the size.

Great photos, thanks for sharing. They remind me of when I was a kid and used to bird watch with my grandma on the farm.

You've got a junco in the first photo, Ron: just in front of the background pole on the right-hand side.

Good eye Tuberale,
I notice in the 2nd pic down about the same location as the Junco, a Dove is peeking over the woodpile.

Many Thanks to ALL for your comments,

Ron
