On a Rainy Day

For the last few days it's been rainy, cooling down the temperature.  It's a good news since the forest fires have been going on in the Eastern Oregon.

When it rains, birds like to find food close to their home instead of travelling some distance.  So there were many visitors on a heavy rain day.  One of the visitors was a Black-headed Grosbeak for the first time this summer.

I first spotted at a feeder underneath the wisteria tree.

"I came at this feeder last year when I was just a 

few months old.  I can get along with other birdies."

Later he was at another familiar feeder on the patio.

"You may not be able to see my eyes, 

but I have big dark ones on my black head."
