Leaving the Yard Again

We're starting to get a few spring migrants show up in the yard but it will probably still be a couple of weeks before I get any new, interesting photos.  We have had occasional visits to the suet feeder by a Bewick's wren, however. 

So to fill in I've got a few non-yard photos to post.  Get used to them while the migrants make their way up to our neck of the woods! 

First up, a female Black-chinned hummingbird... 


A female Downy woodpecker... the same species that we have in the PacNW but this is one in a far different location.  

I have to say that this is a classic pose of the White-breasted nuthatch.  We have the Red-breasted nuthatch west of the mountains but I believe that the White-breasted nuthatch can be found east of the Cascades.  

Do you ever get that uncomfortable feeling that someone is staring at you???
