Steller’s Jay and House Finch photo by Brigitte Jordan
Brigitte took this photo that looks like a House Finch riding a Steller’s Jay. We had a foot of snow on the ground for the past week so the backyard is full of Dark-eyed Juncos, Steller’s and Western Scrub Jays, Spotted Towhees and Golden-crowned Sparrows.
We still have the Lesser Goldfinches, Pine Siskins, Mourning Doves, House Finches, Oak Titmice, Acorn Woodpeckers, and White-breasted Nuthatches at the feeders. We have also been blessed with visits from Nuttall’s Woodpeckers, Hermit Thrushes, American Robins and a Ruby-crowned Kinglet in the past couple of weeks.
Plus we still have a few Anna’s Hummingbirds hanging around too! Merry Christmas to all and have a great Camera Critters Weekend!

@ Lakshmi I love the photos of your beautiful country. I have added it to my must see list for a birding trip.
@Thomas your post on “If looks could kill” is killer! The Egyptian Vulture is my fav. Have a great vacation.
@Lisa your walk sounds so wonderful. Isn’t it wonderful being able to see all the nature as we go through our day to day lives? I do like the female Cardinal best
@Joan your Kori Bustard is amazing! I would love to see one as long as it wasn’t running at me.
Great photo I love to bird watch too.
Beautiful! I love watching the birds in the Winter. We don’t have Steller’s Jays around here though – I’d love to see one!
