Rusty Blackbird


What a surprise to find a Rusty Blackbird in my own back yard. There was only one.

I think it was eating cracked corn that I had scooped off the back patio. Hard to tell in the picture but his head is rusty. What a great bird to have visit my backyard.

Partially Albino Junco


This little misfit showed up in my backyard on Dec 1, 2009. Took this picture on Dec 3. I originally named him Wacko Junco (after Michael Jackson). But he is sort of a Rudolph because the other Juncos shun him. Anyway, hopefully he suvives the winter.
