More Winter in Brooklyn

Pigeon on a wire;
trouble balancing buddy?

Backyard birds from the outside

Saturday was gorgeous so I sat outside for a while. I hoped that if I sat quietly long enough the birds would come to feed. I was not disappointed. It became a feeding frenzy at times. To my surprise I discovered that I had house finches coming to the feeder. I guess the word is getting around the neighborhood about the new feeder.

Backyard Birds

I got a bird feeder for Christmas and set it up outside the kitchen window. My bedroom is just above it, so I often sit in the window and watch the birds and take pictures from this vantage point.
The birds sit on one of the fences or in the trees next door. Since living in Brooklyn, NYC, the backyards are not that wide, so a tree next door is very close.

A very handsome boy

I think this female Cardinal is just gorgeous. She is more elusive than the male, so it is harder to take pictures of her.
