Happy Mother’s Day….

Here are my most recent bird feeder shots….

House finch

Pine siskin

Juvenile Red crossbill

Red crossbill (male)

p.s. for my birthday I got a wicked hunting blind! (I love that it was a 40th birthday present!) I can sit, wait, and take shots without upsetting or disturbing the birds.

I’ll also include a couple flowers just for my mom.

(Clematis columbiana) or rock clematis but most commonly called Columbia virgin’s bower.

I know this is a Larkspur, my best guess is Upland larkspur. If I’m right for the record it’s (Delphinium nuttallianum.)

With opened petals….

A bumble on Tall Oregon grape. (Mahonia aquifolium)

And lastly, my pup Pepper… she was being stealthy…. shhhhhh!
