Birds of the Yard

Here's the male Black-headed grosbeak that I mentioned in a separate email that some of you received earlier this morning. 

 

Here's one of the adult Dark-eyed juncos (Oregon race) that has spent the summer with us... 

 

And this is one of its offspring...

 And here is an adult male Spotted towhee, perhaps the same one I posted on the blog a while back...

And one of its offspring, which seems to differ from some we've been seeing in the yard...

For the most part it's the same birds, but they're always interesting and I always learn something when I watch them.
