OK! Misc pics from last week.

A little bit of everything.

First pic is of a Bank Swallow. I think, can anyone comment?

Next is The Willow or American Gold Finch which is Washington's State bird since 1951.

Then as I was sneaking around this coyote raised his head.

As I got out of my truck this pr. of morning doves were setting in the tree next to my home.

As I walked into the house this female Rufous female hummingbird was working on the flowers in the garden.

Then this big male rufous showed up. They show up here as early as March.

Also earlier I took this pic. of a Male Calliope hummingbird.

I hope you guys enjoy.

Gary,

I love the pics. Michelle really liked the Grebe(?) mating dance you posted last week.

I need to have you come take pics of my hummingbirds so I can tell what species they are.

I have had a goldfinch on my feeder this week.

And we have pygmy nuthatches in a birdhouse my kids and I built this spring.

Pretty neat birds around.

You also should go up on 5 mile prairie any evening around 5-6 and take pics of all the huge rooster Pheasants.

Wow! Great pictures once again.
Looks right for the swallow. I've never heard of the american goldfinch called a willow goldfinch until now. I think I like that name better.
