There are still a lot of birds around Novell campus waiting to get their pictures taken. To start off this post, I have some unfinished business to take care of. Here is a male Brewer's Blackbird--one of the really black ones.
Some Barn Swallows were industriously building their nests on some nearby buildings. They must make hundreds of trips to the nearby stream for mouthfuls of mud.
We heard a pretty song and after trying for a while to get a shot of the source, this little House Finch came out of his tree for a drink.
Strutting across a nearby restaurant was what I at first thought was a crow, but am now sure is a Great-tailed Grackle. I was tipped off by a brown female with the same shape in the grass nearby.
Later in the day I went for another walk and got one clear shot of a little yellow bird. I couldn't decide for a while if it was a female American Goldfinch or Lesser Goldfinch, but finally decided it must be the former because of it's light leg color.
I want a better picture of one of these, and a picture of a male. There is also still some kind of sandpiper I've seen around that I need to get a good shot of. I'll have to keep taking my wife's camera to work until I do.
