Yellow-headed blackbirds

I also saw these at the Clark Fork River delta. The pictures are a little dark, sorry about that! The top one is a male and I believe the second one is a female.

Bald Eagle Nest

No birds here, but a shot of a bald eagle's nest. I was out on the Clark Fork Delta to help with a restoration project. And I saw this nest.

Black-capped Chickadee

These little chickadees are finishing off the remains of this winter's tallow feeder. These guys are year-round residents and we see them almost everyday in our backyard.

Brewer's Blackbird

A common bird. They often hang out in our backyard apple tree or lilac bushes. Here is a male and female. Compare the two images of the male: in one he is in a rested pose, the other he is puffed up, displaying for the female.

 

And the object of his desire! She must be mighty pretty!

Euransian Collard-Doves

There is a pair of mated collard-doves in our neighborhood. I've been hoping that they'd nest in our front yard spruce, but no luck so far. But they've set up a home somewhere close by and they visit our yard multiple times a day and often sit on our roof, the male cooing loudly. Pretty birds.This is the same bird chased away by the robin, posted below.

American Robin

This bad boy was chasing the Eurasian Collared-doves from my backyard. Why? I don't know! We have a lot of male robins in the neighborhood -- they're all establishing territories while they wait for the females to arrive. Maybe this fellow fancies keeping our backyard to himself.
