Looks like the goldfinches are wondering how I get any work done! One of the pitfalls from working from home is distractions...really was amazing I got anything done yesterday with these scenes right outside my window. The orchard orioles have arrived and prefer fresh oranges...
over the jelly preferred by the baltimore orioles.
The rose-breasted grosbeaks are so fun to watch - I wish all of these stayed for the whole summer but most of them are just moving through. In the one shot there are 5 males and a female!
The hummingbirds are busy dive bombing each other while staking their feeder territories, I could watch them all day. Once my sister called me and asked what kind of hummingbird had a black neck - I told her none that lived around here as we only get ruby throated ones. Now I see that unless the light is perfect their ruby neck shows up as black :)
Some of these shots were taken this morning and it is so windy outside. You can see the ruffled feathers on several shots and I don't know how the hummingbird manages to fly and steady himself in the wind - amazing.

Work can wait when this kind of beauty is all around.Thanks for sharing your birds.
You have the most wonderful array of birds...all beautiful. I don't know if we have any Baltimore orioles here or not, have never seen one...maybe too far west? I love to watch the finches and hummingbirds, though.
Oh Marsha, I'm sure it is very challenging to stay focused on work with everything beautiful happening outside!
Such fabulous photos, Marsha! It's an absolute delight to visit your blog and see the way you capture these little birds.
