This is a Chipping Sparrow peeking through the grass. Notice the cute little red cap on its head. We see this sparrow quite often in our yard, and this guy likes to feed on the ground instead of the feeders.

Sher spotted some small but pretty bird baths in a local store’s ad flyer. We decided that they would be a nice addition to our backyard. We thought that we’d use one of the glass receptacles as a true water filled bird bath. The second, however, for now we put bird feed in the second one as a shelf feeder.

We have been thrilled with the number of different species of birds that have been gracious enough to visit our backyard.

We have so enjoyed sitting in our backyard watching the birds coming and going from the bird feeders, now scattered across our backyard. We will keep the bird and critter photos coming as we capture them.
