A Gathering of Redheads

Full Pool

Fifteen birds! A new record...

Trio

Eleven!

 Eleven little brown birds having a summertime pool party...

I Must Say...

 

Adorable little fledglings...

Splash Pad

This house finch REALLY enjoyed his bath! 

Also, multiple this amount of splashing times many, many birds per day and you have a fountain that needs filling every day...

Colorful Crew

 

Incoming!

 

This finch hopes there is room for one more at this pool party...

Redhead

 This male house finch has some of the most vibrant red coloring I've seen...he's a real beauty!

Finch Fiesta

 

One Small, One Tall

 

... both are finches (though one is a lesser goldfinch [not a judgment, the actual name of the species, LOL], the other a house finch).

Peek-a-Boo

 

This little finch is probably on the lookout for the orioles, who definitely make a racket when they are in the yard (and this feeder is for them, really, but the finches certainly eat their fair share of the jelly).

Chilly Dip

 

When it is cold, we floof up our feathers...

Also Not Turkeys

 

Matchy-Matchy

 

When the male house wren decides to sit in the pomegranate tree, color magic happens!

End of Summer Pool Party!

 

Don't you hate it when the pool is really crowded? 

This is a new record for the fountain: 12 birds! 

One of These Things Is Not Like the Other...

 

Three Against One
