My Weekly Bird ABC

Welcome to the letter 'H'

To begin take a look at the Harris Sparrow.

This bird migrates through our area in spring and fall.

Below is the male House Finch,a bird that is not only good looking,

but has an equally pretty song. Next in line is a juvenile House Wren. Several of these young birds were hopping around on a brush pile and allowed me to get quite close. A male House Wren defending his home.

This one was sitting in the tree just above the bird house.

Jake was able to capture this shot of the bird in full song.

I almost didn't post this picture,but it is a bird as well.

The House Sparrow is around all year.and often not very welcome.

Here is another picture of the House Finch,this one taken by Jake.

The Hairy Woodpecker is one we see more of in winter.

The following three pictures are all done by Jake.

A Horned Lark,one of the first spring arrivals every year.

And last but not least is an old photo of a Hooded Merganser.

We do not see these very often,so this picture is the only one we have of it.

The earth is the Lord's,and everything in it.

Psalm 24:1
