Delighted to Be Distracted

The spring semester is almost over (woohoo!!!) and I've  been working like a beaver on my projects and requirements.  I've taken over our dining table that offers a spacious area where I can spread all my junk and that faces a window with a view of our backyard and beyond (i.e. there's a field that backs up to our yard).  There are times when school work can be very tedious indeed and I am just too delighted to be distracted.


Male and female Goldfinches can't get enough of the Asian thistle seeds and sunflower chips. 


"Hey ... how you doin'?"  A lot of male birds (mostly finches) are hitting on our fake feathered friend on the feeder.


Sparrows normally visit our yard in small flocks.  This particular one, a White-Crowned Sparrow, always feeds by himself.


Our new neighbor, a thirteen-lined ground squirrel, is watching me watching him.
