Fun home birding

Today was a cold day, so I decided to just bird out the window of my new viewing room. Beside a warm fire, of course. Two problems with birding from inside the house. One is photos aren't good taken through the ancient windows, and two, I can't tear myself away to get anything else accomplished. Today I had three Common Grackles, which was pretty cool! 

I still have the three hummers. It's like a treasure hunt. You never know what's going to show up. Plus it's fun just watching the regular birds. Like this Ladder-backed Woodpecker. 

First, a sip...

Then, one last check to make sure there are no threats around...

Next, testing out the bath....

And finally, bathing with abandon...

All good!
