Birds on a Rainy Friday in April




In the yard today:



Blue Jays




Female Red-Winged Blackbird (only the second of the season)






Chipping Sparrows





Red-Winged Blackbirds



Grackles




American Goldfinch coming into their bright yellow plumage









The male House Finch with his bright springtime colours





Downy Woodpeckers


White-breasted Nuthatch


Chickadee


Mourning Doves



This bald-headed Chipping Sparrow was at the feeder too. I wonder if he's molting or if he was in a territorial fight with another bird or if he had some sort of close call? He looks a bit puffed up, which could be from the cold or he could be sick/hurt.
