December 4. 2014 A Backyard Bird

Happiest of Birthdays to Glen's next younger sister, Marcella, today.  Marcella and Jeff are working for Amazon Fulfillment Center in Kentucky until December 23.  They are walking nearly ten miles each day filling your order to Amazon.

Here's a new backyard bird for us.  We have seen them in our neighborhood, but never IN our yard.  There's been a couple in the yard the past few days.  It is a Northern Cardinal wanna-be...you'll see.

This is a Pyrrhuloxia, probably a female.  "common in brushy desert habitat."

This is a Black Phoebe.  The belly area under the wings are white, but I couldnt get a good frontal view.  I will keep trying.
