rain_gryphonYesterday morning, just after the sun lit the brushpile out back, I saw a whole bunch of Juncos effervescing around the brushpile to the trees on either side of it and back again. I'm guessing that's where they spent the night, which pleases me, since that's why I made it.
The other morning early too, I saw some cute Sparrow faces peering at me from the nest boxes I left up, so those are being used for shelters too, as I'd hoped. Hopefully, they'll have a head start on nesting come spring.

Red Bellied Woodpecker returns to the cake feeder. The light's not so harsh here (morning, so you get reflected light off the house while the bird's backlit by the sun), and you can see details better. The pinkish vent patch shows clearly.

Another pair of Nuthatches. These guys are the White Breasted variety, so not quite so humourously ball-shaped as the other day's Red Breasted ones. For whatever reason, these guys just like to perch upside down, and especially when they eat.
