We are proud of The Urban Cabin’s little backyard. It’s a certified “Wildlife Habitat,” and we have so much fun watching their comings and goings.

Last week, we experienced a veritable Bird Festival…so many birds, of different types–ALL AT ONCE–in our yard. It was spectacular. In the first picture you can see the baby Flicker, the Bluejay and the Starling. But what you can’t see is Anna’s Hummingbird, the robin on the fence or the Downy Woodpecker in the tree. And then, the deluge of birds that followed.

Here’s what we saw:

How many birds do you see?

Baby Flicker. We often see the adults, but rarely the offspring.

Red-breasted Finch. Their chests get more red as the summer progresses.

Stellar Jay. We see lots of Scrub Jays but not as many of the Stellars. Love their “do.”

Robin. He was watching his family take a bath.

There was a LOT of “argument” as more birds jostled for space on the birdbath.

Then the Starlings show up. Party crashers for sure.

Big Papa says they are the “drunken soccer fans of the bird world.”

Downy Woodpecker. This was  first sighting for us. Obviously he got the memo that day.

Last, but not least (though where size is concerned, definitely least), an Anna’s Hummingbird. I LOVE these little guys.
