Towards Turtle Mountain

[soemand]

Someone with better botany skills than I — pretty much anyone… — can probably spout off some random latin to describe this.

I'll go with Pretty.

Four species simultaneously

[nanila]

[L to R: Blackbird, blue tit, sparrow (F), sparrow (M), great tit]

Even though the weather here has warmed up, a continuous stream of visitors are at our feeders. I'm a little annoyed that today I spotted the blackbird and the woodpecker on the fat ball feeder simultaneously, along with the smaller birds listed above but when I approached stealthily (or so I thought) with my camera, the skittish woodpecker flew off before I could get a shot. Patience...!
