As the weather continues to fluctuate, I've installed a few backyard feeders to provide lazy birdwatching opportunities. The chickadees were the first to poke around, followed by my first common redpoll. Today marked a noticeable uptick in activity, as red- and white-breasted nuthatches, pine siskins, house finches and dark-eyed juncos all made appearances. Highlight: the red-breasted nuthatch pictured at bottom perching atop my head while I lay near the feeder with my camera.
