I know some people take their feeders down when spring arrives, but we still like to keep some food and water available for these little creatures. So the other day I parked myself on a back yard bench to decide how to rearrange the feeders, and here are a few of the visitors that stopped in to say hello:

Female hummingbird

Female northern cardinal

Female redbellied woodpecker

Chipping sparrow (possibly)

American goldfinch

Goldfinch looking coy

Checking out the other feeders

Redbellied woodpecker

He discovered that I just refilled the feeder.

Not all back yard visitors are birds.

Mourning dove

We are entertained by a large family of squirrels.

Hummingbird

Humming bird

Male ruby throated hummer

So with all those visitors to entertain me, I stayed longer in the back yard than I had intended, but eventually I got up from the bench and went with Bob to take Gulliver for a walk in the park. There I encountered a few more birds (but no squirrels this time). Take a look at these beauties:

A white-crowned sparrow

A little yellow warbler sitting on a branch

A downy woodpecker admiring some yellow flowers

And last of all, on the trail back to the parking lot, we saw an indigo bunting. 

With that beautiful bunting, my day was complete!!! The ruby-throated hummingbird at the very top of this post and the indigo bunting are my favorites. I enjoyed sharing them all with you. If you have a favorite, please leave a comment to let me know.

Thanks for stopping by today.
See you soon.
