| One day while in Auburn this week, the Courthouse square was like a park; Robins and Cardinals were singing, and this Bluejay was hunting for food in the grass. |

|
| This Robin was in my front yard the other morning. |

| Most find the Turkey Vulture unpleasant to look at up close, but they perform at least one worthwhile purpose by helping to clean up roadsides. |
The Turkey Vulture is a scavenger |

| These Downey Woodpeckers seem to be flirting with one another. |

| Two Downey Woodpeckers, sitting in a tree... |
Kissing? |
|
| More fluttering and flirting, courting, playing. |
Flirting again. |

| Chasing each other around the branches. |
Playing hide-and-seek around the branch. |
|
| I didn't detect any red on either Downey. Maybe they are just siblings? |
Together |
|
| The female Cardinal can be mistaken for a Cedar Waxwing, but the Waxwing's colors are more vivid. This Lady's colors seem to include more red than usual...maybe 'cause it's Spring. |
Here's Lady again |
|
| Some of the male House Finches seem 'redder' than others...I would guess youth has something to do with it. |
House Finch, Male |
|
| I caught the Nuthatches together here. They seemed only interested in eating. Don't miss the one to the right, partly obscured by the tree. |
Both Nuthatches |
