Been busy with school and work...and my HD crapping out!

I'm happy to say that the Kestrels are back and I've put a small 50 gallon pond on my deck, I will be buying a bird trap for the subdivision of house sparrows that raid my feeder, they are very aggressive and a non-native species, I don't want to kill them in vain, I will see if some wildlife sanctuary in my area will take them for food.


So far this year ive seen off the deck:
A pair of Vultures
A pair of Redtail Hawks
A few Goldfinches, a Northern Flicker, Common Crackles.
The Juncos are gone...

Today, off my deck, I seen all at once:
Male and Female Northern Cardinals
Two Chickadees, one landed on my hand for seeds, but flew away with grabbing a snack.
One Female Downy Woodpecker, biggest surprise so far this year.
Two Dark Eyed Juncos
One Male Blue Jay
One Juvenille Female American GoldFinch, who I have not seen for a few days
One Pigeon
And a few Sparrows

And just seen a Red Tail Hawk, amazing day!

I have my Wide Angle(Sigma 10mm-20mm 1:4-5:6 DC) set up now on the tripod :)
