October 13, 2012: A Wilson's Snipe in My Front Yard in Juneau, Alaska...

October 13, 2012: 

The first Wilson's Snipe 

I had the pleasure of viewing in my front yard

in Juneau, Alaska.  

What a treat, as it hung around for several days...

This Wilson's Snipe stood perfectly still
for several minutes during the crazy-rainy downpour.

Notice the water droplet at the end of its beak...

August 19, 2012: A Couple of Feathered Friends on My Back Deck in Juneau, Alaska...

August 19, 2012:

Much to my delight, 

a couple of friendly birds landed on my back deck

for a photoshoot...

A cute and petite Dark-Eyed Junco (Junko)... 

A very colorful Varied Thrush
with 'an attitude'...

Just love its different poses...

One last pose before taking flight...

July 24, 2012: Birds of a Feather Flock Together...

July 24, 2012:

Many species of birds came to visit

while I was working in my yard in Juneau, Alaska today, 

although I was only able to capture 

a few photographs of them...

[Special thanks to Connie for assisting me in identifying them] 

A vibrant Varied Thrush (male)...

An early arrival of a somewhat rare Cedar Waxwing 
(the Bohemian species have a orange hue under the tail vs white),
a treat to view such a beautiful species 
that normally tends to arrive here in Juneau in the fall...

A mature Dark-Eyed Junco (Junko) that has
a seed in its mouth...

A male Red-Breasted Sapsucker Woodpecker
tapping for its mate...

A female Red-Breasted Sapsucker Woodpecker
posturing and answering the male...

Another female is feeling ousted,
her look says it all...
