This male Bluebird is setting up housekeeping with his female. Mick Hardy sent us this photo and hopes to get more as they raise a family.
A Black-capped Chickadee sings from high in a tree. Although year around residents of Indiana, they become much more active in the spring. Their song can often be heard echoing through the woods.
This male Goldfinch is still growing out his summer feathers. In the winter they are a drab yellow-brown color. The females are drab in all seasons. This bright yellow color gives the Goldfinch its nickname of "American Canary."
A male Red-bellied Woodpecker checks out a dead tree limb for insects. The male's head has a red streak from the base of its nose, over the top, and down to the neck in back. Its name comes from a slight red coloring on the male's belly during the breeding season.
A Yellow-rumped Warbler gives us looks from all angles. The bottom-most picture shows the yellow spot on its rump for which it is named. Warblers are hard to photograph because they are in nearly constant motion, flitting from tree to tree.
