this spring, we have had lots more gold finches at our feeder than in the past. Today I got lots of shots of the gold finches and some others that frequent the feeder.

We also have lots of carolina wrens which are unbelievably loud for their size. This guy had collected some hair or fibers or something from the door mat on the deck. I assume he was using it to build a nest.
We have 5 species of woodpeckers that visit from time to time. This one is a red-bellied woodpecker.
The ruby throated hummingbirds are back in town and found our feeder quickly after we put it up. One of these days I'm going to get a good shot of one through the deck doors from the kitchen.
