Well, this is Washington, so we had a so-so weather day on Saturday, absolute C$&p on Sunday, and decent weather Monday. So, I did the time-honored Clean out the Shed and Build Some Shelves chores on Monday. While doing so, I noticed that I was outside the Backyard Birds Annoyance Range so I set up my camera to see what I could get. Here are a few, in not particular order.

Last year we had a pair of Black-headed Grosbeaks come to the feeders, we were hoping they would come back.

Too often we overlook what is right in our own backyard, literally, searching for the "far away" places that "everyone must go". Save some gas, and do your chores at the same time. Both good for the environment :biglaugh:. Me, I need to do one bit of "work-work", then off for early morning at the Osprey nest :biggrin:
