I’m just sharing 4 quick photos today. We’ve had rain pretty much every day this week (and again this morning!). Haven’t had a whole lot of bird watching (photo taking) luck lately. Hopefully, that changes if the sun ever returns.
Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy the following 4 snaps.
It’s A Bird!
Caught a house finch in flight toward the feeder.
It’s A Cat!
Took a photo of the cat through the window during just a cloudy part of the day. Doesn’t she kind of look like a ghost cat? However, I assure you, especially after her very loud meow in my ear at 4a.m. this morning, she’s very real.
It’s A Catbird!
Saved the best for last. A catbird stopped by to visit for a bit on Tuesday morning. He spent a lot of time hopping around the lower fence and ground. So the photo below is through the deck railing (and out the backdoor window).
Finally, he hopped up on the fence so I could get one semi-decent shot.
Other Birds Spotted In The Rain This Week (No Photos)
The grackles are taking over my feeders. Getting almost as annoying as the squirrels. Our hummingbird is back. Briefly saw the tufted titmouse one day. And the chickadees and woodpeckers (downy and red-bellied) continue to hang out. As do the house sparrows, cardinals, and doves. An occasional blue jay stops by. I’ve also heard crows and geese flying over once in a while. Hopefully, next week the sun returns along with the chance for a few more photos.
What birds have you spotted this week? And before I end this post, could you please send some sunshine this way? Soon, please!

Very clever! The kitty made me chuckle. So cute!

Thank you! She keeps us pretty entertained. Hope your week is off to a great start!
I think you’re having the same weather as we are Jean. Never mind, that’s a great picture of the Grey Catbird. And the ghost.
Thank you! Hope we both get some sunnier weather and soon! Happy New Week.
Hello Jean,
Wonderful sightings in your yard. I saw a similar cat in my yard, now it has disappeared.
I love the Catbirds! Have a happy day and a great new week!
Thank you! We see the catbirds just on rare occasion in the spring and sometimes the fall. Wish they’d stick around, such interesting birds. Hope your week is off to a wonderful start!
