Welcome Back #5

In the fall, hawks returned from Alaska.  Cooper's Hawk is one of them.  One day I was looking  toward the backyard, then this one just landed on the fence.

"I thought I heard all the tweets.  Now everyone fled."

"I am back....  Come on out, friends."

Welcome Back #4

One White-throated Sparrow returned.  It nibbles the breakfast with House Sparrows, Song Sparrows, and Golden-crowned Sparrows.  They accept one another without a fight.

He is very careful.

"I stop by here for a few weeks during the fall and spring."

Welcome Back #3

When the weather gets cold, this little bird stops over too.

"Hi, I am Ruby-crowned Kinglet.  I like this suet in winter."

"Yum, yum."

Welcome Back #2

 The blueberry bushes are changing their color.  Several Golden-crowned Sparrows showed up here as the morning air became chilly.

"We are back!"

"Look at these red leaves.  Autumn is in the air."
