It is a snowy Sunday in East Gwillimbury. The little goldfinches make endless forays to the niger feeder. This bag type feeder that holds more than niger seed is not so busy but the niger-only-feeder that sits right next to it is a silo type and all day long the perches are full of goldfinches. As it is closer to the house we can watch their movements. At this time of the year the goldfinches have lost their bright yellow colour and are a more dull green-gold colour. This photo was cropped to give you a closer look. For more right out of the camera photos please visit Murrieta365 for Straight out of the Camera Sunday. Valerie
The Downy Woodpecker is just one of our little feathered friends in winter. The Downy, Hairy and the Piliated like the suit cake that we purchase and also the peanut butter/suet mixture we make at home and place in the holes of the big bird feeder. This little fellow is so brightly coloured with his coat of black and white and his little cap of red. I am posting this to two memes today Camera Critters at http://camera-critters.blogspot.com/ and Straight out of the Camera Sunday at http://www.murrieta365.com/search/label/SOOC%20Sunday.
