Possible new sightings, but only glimpsed them for a second: House Finch (July 2009) I can't identify this bird! (May 2009) I thought it was a tufted titmouse, but there's no tuft, and it's slightly larger than the ones I've seen!

(2008/2008/2009)I went outside to enjoy the crisp, early morning air, and was stunned to see these three birds sitting on my neighbor's feeder! They didn't seem alarmed by my presence, and even waited, patiently, while I snapped a few pix! Click here to see new photos! |

Cornell University has a marvelous website featuring searchable descriptions, images, and sounds of many North American birds! 
Here's what Cornell's staff had to say about BIMBY: "We enjoyed your site -- the 'X' through the tube feeders was an especially nice (if not humorous) touch!" |
