Here are some photos I took during my week in North Carolina of the backyard birds.
Lovey-dovey Doves mating.
Brown-headed Cowbird. A couple frequented the feeder and this male would go to the top of tree and do his mating call and poof out all his feathers.
House Finch.
Goldfinches galore! At one point there were 10 at the same time.
Red-bellied Woodpecker.
Eastern Bluebird.
There were two pairs feeding babies in nest boxes.
Besides the birds I photographed, I also saw Carolina Chickadee, Tufted Titmouse, Carolina Wren, White-breasted Nuthatch, American Robin, Chipping Sparrow, Blue Jay, Northern Cardinal, Mockingbird, Indigo Bunting, Brown-headed Nuthatch, and Yellow-rumped Warbler.
