Birds of a Winter

I am not very good at bird names besides Penguin, Flamingo, Puffins, Ravens, Cardinals... you know the birds that I can't get wrong. Well I married Keith so I wouldn't have to remember all those names. He is an avid birder. He is one of those people that can hear a bird a mile away and tell you what kind it is. Or he can see a bird and just by the way the wings flap he can tell you the species. I can tell you they are LBB... Little Brown Bird.... hehehe. I am learning slowly and I enjoy watching birds. The weather has warmed up a bit and Keith and Kaden set out the bird feeder in our yard. The birds are flocking to it. The boys and I have fun watching them fly around our yard. It amazes me that such small birds can survive harsh winters here. Keith got out his camera and got some pretty shots of birds in our yard. I am very proud of my husbands pictures. Here are some he took. I will "try" to tell you the correct name of them.... I might be editing this post a few times with the correct name of birds.

Common Redpoll,
though if I were to name them there would be nothing common about them.
They are very beautiful Birds!

Pine Grosbeak- one of my favorite birds that we have here!!
