Red-Breasted Nuthatch

I almost thought this guy was a chickadee at first, until I took a closer look.  He came and went really quick and the suet feeder he was on kept spinning in the wrong direction.  Spotted 1/24/2012 at 3:30 pm.

Townsend's Warbler

It's been several days since I've spotted anything new at my feeders, and I was more then excited today to see not one, but two new species! I will post the first today, the Townsend's Warbler.  A beautiful bird with a bright yellow head and a black raccoon like patch over it's eyes.  This bird is native to the Pacific NW where I live, ranging all the way north to Alaska in the summer, and wintering here on the Pacific coast in the winter.  The first picture is a male, while the second two pictures at the suet feeder are a female.  Spotted 1/24/2013 at 3:30 pm.

Eastern Grey Squirrel

Perhaps somewhat common, but I thought, "why not?", they are pretty cute.  Plus they haven't bothered my bird feeders since I started leaving peanuts for them on the ground. Now if I could only be rid of the starlings...  Spotted 01/15/2013 9:11 AM.

Downy Woodpecker

Finally! A Downy Woodpecker up close! My son Corbin spotted this little guy feeding on 01/16/2013 at 8:49 AM.

Chestnut-Backed Chickadee

These little guys have been visiting the feeder regularly now in a flock of about 8-10.  This one here has a lot more of the chestnut color then the one I previously photographed.

Black-capped Chickadee vs. Chestnut-backed Chickadee

For anyone who might be interested, I thought I would post a comparison photo of the Black-capped Chickadee vs. Chestnut-backed Chickadee.
