It's been rainy the past few days in the afternoons, so the birds have not been out as much. Every time I try to get a picture of the goldfinchs, they get camera shy and fly away.

The chickadees are back and the mourning doves have gone. The flickers are still about, and I see the owl very so often.

Sunny and warmer in Denver today. I'm still trying to get pictures of the various birds at the feeders. Today we only had an assortment of house finches so I took pictures of the insects instead.

Monarch with open wings. It look like he's been hurt somehow.

Cold and drippy in Denver today. Some pictures from my bird feeders are today's offering. I'll try to get some pictures of the Chickadees, Downy Woodpeckers and Goldfinches that are also regular visitors.

Everyone gets a turn at the feed station

Northern Flicker. We think there is a nesting pair in the oak tree.
