Well, except maybe the downy that keeps hammering on our house<br /><br />Arti- Thanks for stopping by. The are cute! The titmice are especially precocious.<br /><br />Chuck- Ellen says she also gets a red-bellied. But it didn't show up while I was there.<br /><br />Rose- You are always SO busy!<br /><br />Sisko- these are very common winter visitors for us, along with some others I didn't catch on camera<br /><br />Ivy- I'd love to see the birds in your part of the world<br /><br />vanilla- well, they sure made it easy!Sharkbyteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10139935335209860357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406042802207115346.post-10249017391175315122011-01-15T21:26:11.185-05:002011-01-15T21:26:11.185-05:00Excellent pictorial comparison of the relative siz...Excellent pictorial comparison of the relative sizes of the hairy and the downy.vanillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978025976591113499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406042802207115346.post-77058187157453799632011-01-15T19:06:23.423-05:002011-01-15T19:06:23.423-05:00Love the pics!
