Info Post
I am trying to keep a close eye on the number of visitors to the backyard as the summer comes to an end.  Over the past few weeks, I have noticed a number of Baltimore Orioles and Gold Finches visiting and I have throughly enjoyed watching them.  Late this evening, Monk Parakeets were hanging around; no doubt, enticed by the sprinkler I had running.  It is amazing what moving water could bring in to your backyard on a hot day.  Here are some pictures from today's backyard bird watching.


First year Oriole at the bird bath.


Goldfinches at the feeder.


Baltimore Oriole in the backyard.


More Goldfinches at a specialized feeder (meaning that that the ports are specially designed for goldfinches). Notice how the Goldfinches feed upside down.

Monk Parakeets pay a visit, probably enticed by the sprinkler.
