Another One
I seem to be a magnet for birds in need of rescue lately. Today was a busy day with a house full of visiting family. In the middle of catching up and feeding everyone, I glanced out the front window and saw this little pigeon on the ground, leaning against the fence, just standing there in a patch of sunlight. I went out to see if he was injured and caught him fairly quickly because he couldn’t fly – one of his wings was a bit droopy, perhaps broken. I have a call in to a local wildlife rehabilitation place. Hopefully they can help.
Little Eggs
Little pigeon eggs. The pair on the left are from a homing pigeon, and the smaller ones are from a Persian High Flyer.
Knock Knock
Not a good shot, but it’s rare for me to get any kind of photo of this Nuttall’s Woodpecker. He’s very shy and keeps to the foliage. I hear him tapping sometimes in the mornings, but don’t always see him.

Anna’s Hummingbird
I’ve spotted some different birds around my house recently; nuttall’s woodpecker, northern flicker, black phoebe – all birds that I can typically see a couple of miles away near the river, but not so much up at my house. However, I haven’t managed to get one photo of any of the new visitors, so here’s a photo of a bird I see here every day….again. đŸ™‚

Double Trouble
It’s funny how one pigeon can turn into two pigeons. My pigeon, the scruffy guy in the front, now has a roommate who looks just like him (but is way more stylish).
