Birds in New Jersey 2014
25 October 2014, continued
A rare visitor to the backyard: a robin
A blink
What has enticed the robin is a holly tree bursting with fresh, red holly berries
Two different female finches: house finch above, purple finch below
Female purple finch
Even in cooler weather, birds love a bath, to keep their feathers clean and optimally effective. Here are two house sparrows.
The robin checks out the water situation
Back in the tree
This rock dove has a distinctive white-and-blue-and-white tail
Every few seconds, there is something happening on a feeder. Two female purple finches....
A few seconds later, two house sparrows....
Then, a male house finch and a house sparrow
