Guess who came to visit this morning......... a young male red cardinal. Dad must have approved of our feeder yesterday!

I was so excited this morning...... another bird at my feeder..... a real common one, but when you only see sparrows and morning doves then a red cardinal is really a treat!

Excuse the bad quality of the pictures, but I have to clean the windows!!

This poor fellow is blind on one eye, but was enjoying the sunshine in one of the trees (near the bird feeders!!).

What a joy of seeing this yellow crowned heron posing for me.... at least that's what I thought. After looking at the pictures I realize he's just falling asleep!!!!

Look what I saw this morning... It still amazes me to see a squirl in a palmtree.... for me those two don't go together. So I ran back in and take a picture. While I'm having my camera out I decide to take some pictures of the house finch nest. Some crazy people thought it would be nice to take the nest down to see if there were any eggs in and did not put it back in place. Poor mom finch could not get onto the nest. We got the nest back up and within 5 minutes mom was back on it. Hopefully those crazy people will stay away from it now!!
