| Above left is a female Baltimore Oriole and on the right is her mate. We don't get to see them in the yard to often, but on this year, I suspect they were nesting in the woods behind the house. |

 |
| Above is a male Eastern Bluebird. We had them in the yard one year, but they were forced out by some tree swallows. We have since put up more birdhouses in the hopes they will return. |
 |
| Above is a BlueJay. They really love the whole peanuts I put in the feeder. If you want to attract this bird, peanuts is a sure fire way to do just that. |

| Above is a male Northern Cardinal. I just love this bird. It can be difficult to get a good picture of a cardinal since they can be so skiddish, but they seem less afraid of me every year, so I hope to get better pics in the future. More information on Cardinals can be found here. |

Black-Capped Chickadees are the friendliest of all birds in this area. I just love watching them fly back and forth and "talk" with each other, and I swear sometimes I think they are talking to me. Like when I'm filling an
empty feeder, they chatter away as if to tell me to hurry up. They are not the least bit afraid of me and sit on branches right next to my head as I fill the feeder. I even got one to eat from my hand one winter. For more info about them click here. |

| The Gray Catbird is also a very friendly bird. He will eat suet as well as bugs in the yard. On many occasions I'll be in the yard and he is walking right next to me in the garden singing away. |
