birds in the backyard 4:15 p.m.
overcast - windy - another storm coming in
several birds are regulars at the feeders -
(testing my new 250 Land camera - it works!)
house finches at the main feeder
a pair of doves are regulars,too
they like to feed on the seed that falls in the grass below
Resident scrub jay will chase off all others - finding sunflower seeds, he often takes them to a nearby flowerpot to crack - where I find all the discarded shells -
male & female finches come most often together, as do the doves, scrub jays mostly come alone, though sometimes as a pair
