I spotted this little blue jay hanging out at our porch this afternoon. I guess he found something yummy in our green onion container, as he was pecking around in there.

Regular Visitor
This little chickadee was enjoying the water that I put out for the birds and squirrel. It’s still hot here in Texas so I make sure to fill up our (not) fancy bird bath with fresh water every morning. I think they appreciate it!
Window Bird Feeder
こんばんは。How’s it going?
Several months ago, Mariko bought me a bird feeder that uses suction cups to stick to our home office window. It took a month or so before the birds discovered it but they now come daily to grab a few sunflower seeds. What’s really nice is that I can go right up to the window, and the birds don’t even notice me, so I can get a close-up view of them.
I thought today’s visitor was a Bewick’s Wren, but upon closer inspection, I noticed it had a lot of orange, so I’m guessing it’s a Carolina Wren.
I hope you had a great day!

First Hummingbird!
Within a day of replacing our fancy green hummingbird feeder with an inexpensive red feeder, we finally got our first ever hummingbird visit! It was so exciting to see and add to my life-list of birds (#26). How exciting!
Birds of North America
Today’s photo is of a bird (a female house sparrow perhaps?) that has been frequenting the north-facing window. We’re not sure why it likes to come by, but the cats are very interested!
Speaking of birds, I binge-watched all the episodes of Birds of North America. This series hosted by Jason Ward is excellent! Each episode is interesting and the topics are surprisingly varied. Definitely worth watching!
I hope you had a great day. またね~
