The chipping sparrow is a breeding season visitor. I love these tiny sparrows and love when they bring their babies to one of the bird feeders. The little ball of fluff can be very loud when begging for food.

I am missing a photo as one blog site wasn’t loading so I will keep trying….. This is a female red-bellied woodpecker. I have put up a mixed fruit and nut seed and they seem to love it. I call them the most cranky bird in the yard and as nobody, not even a blue jay will mess around with them. They are here all year around and appreciate the suet, peanuts and mixed seed our yard has. Oh and the bird baths too…

Have a wonderful nature-filled week! Please be safe.
