Birds in our backyard...

American Goldfinch

Baltimore Orioles

        Adult male - taken 22 Jan 2008, 4 Feb 2008 and 21 Dec 2008

        Adult female - taken 24 Jan 2008

        Immature males - taken 13 Dec 2008. There are apparently two individuals pictured here.

        First-year female - taken 13 and 14 Dec 2008. I first thought this was a female Bullock's Oriole, but thanks to help from more skilled observers I learned her true identity. In order not to scare her away, I took these photos from inside the house.
