Mourning Dove My first hummingbird of the season came to the feeder yesterday!   The Stellar Jay and the Acorn Woodpeckers are here along with the Pine Siskins, House Finches, Mountain Chickadees, Pygmy Nuthatches and White-breasted Nuthatches.   When we were in Sedona AZ there were plenty of birds getting ready for Spring with our warmer weather.   I’m sharing a few of my photographs with you.
