Summer Visitors

One of the things I've really enjoyed since having a yard is feeding and watching the birds that show up. I live in a quiet neighborhood near a creek, so there are numerous visitors to the feeders each day. Mostly I see chickadees and finches. However, once summer rolls around the makeshift "bird bath" I put on the deck rail draws some additional visitors. Today I saw a Northern flicker and a pair of ring necked doves.
