Recent Bird and Backyard Photos

Craig Houghton May 28th, 2007

I went through my last couple of memory cards from my camera and saved this batch from the bin (all wild, common, and taken local to Cheshire CT). Thus far all of the niftier spring warblers I’ve seen have done a damned good job of staying out of the light and avoiding clear shots (I didn’t include any of em.. they’re just plain blurry) — try here for older bird pics. What… I like birds.

    I have a question about your chickadee house…(I found this site while googling chickadee house). Does your house have a side that opens up so that you can clean it out after the nesting season is over? If not, have you had the chickadees nest there more than once? Just curious so thanks for any info!
