There are many of these Golden Crowned Sparrows stopping by every day for their seed, and there are also White Crowned Sparrows, we nicknamed "little bicycle helmet heads" You will understand why we named them so, when you see pictures of them, within the next week, when I do the next post on my feathered friends.
Chestnut Backed ChickadeeChickadees are cheeky little guys, often hanging upside down to feed. You have to be on the ball to snap pictures of these little birds, as they are never still for very long.
Black Capped ChickadeeThis little guy held his pose long enough for me to zoom right in on him.
Mom & Pop American GoldfinchWe are delighted to see many goldfinches at the feeder since changing to black sunflower seed.

You are so lucky to have these lovely birds right on your doorstep.
The Chicadee is such a cutie!
OK, let's see if this comment goes thru. Gosh blogger is driving me MAD!!!
I LOVE all the different birds now. I switched to Black Oil about 5 years ago, but I also use Flyers Choice from Cenex, and suet feeders for the woodpeckers and kinglets and chickadees. Yesterday I had a flock of 10-15 Evening Grosbeaks sitting on the platform feeder and then a flock of doves, and 4 Band tailed pigeons. That platform was CROWDED!! I am filling hummers bottles daily, and the seed feeders too. I have to get more Niger seed for the Pine Siskins!
I too found that switching to a more deluxe birdseed mix increased the variety of feathered visitors. I too could sit for hours and just watch them. Love your photos.
Those are some amazing pictures, keewee.
Thanks for sharing them. :)
