Northeast of Livingston

 

Now that we are permanent residents of Livingston, we branch out to explore the neighborhood and beyond.  Not too far away are Pinyon Jays visiting feeders, we hope they come to ours soon.

Depending on the sun and age, the blues come in different shades on these Jays

This Jay has been hogging the suet.

Downy Woodpecker

Black-headed Grosbeak found our feeding station.

He pushes the House Finches out of his way.
