Lovely birds and i can totally understand why they'd be the species to get you excited about birdwatching!<br />Hannah - thanks!<br /><br />Optimistic - why not make it a new year's resolution! <br /><br />Titus - they like it wherever there are berries! <br /><br />eileen - thanks! <br /><br />Rabbit's Guy - very closely related species, but not quite the same. <br /><br />Draffin bears - thanks! <br /><br />Kaye - wow, thanks! I'm honoured! <br /><br />Crafty Green Poethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02486633917197181851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16542790.post-16443033794628854042012-12-31T09:21:40.648+00:002012-12-31T09:21:40.648+00:00Juliet - we want to nominate you for the Blog of t...Juliet - we want to nominate you for the Blog of the Year Award!

(I learned to tell a Northern Harrier this year.)<br /><br />I wonder if the Goldcrest is what we call a golden crowned kinglet? Is the Goldcrest really 6 or 7"? A kinglet is small like a chickadee.RGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02017190779860810318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16542790.post-11172490013361542342012-12-30T23:43:09.671+00:002012-12-30T23:43:09.671+00:00Sounds like a great year for birding.

They're most common on the the west coast so I think they came here by way of Siberia to Alaska. The more common Cedar Waxwings are found almost all over the country and sometimes they will mix together in flocks. I love them because they were the first bird to really excite my interest in birdwatching.

Even with corrective lenses and binoculars, it is difficult to identify the small, active species. However, the recent flock of waxwings visiting my backyard made up for it.bunnitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07762412508859521913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16542790.post-24381233438810458602012-12-30T14:36:25.717+00:002012-12-30T14:36:25.717+00:00I have friends who are keen birders Juliet, so I h...I have friends who are keen birders Juliet, so I have sent her details of your blog so that she can read of your sightings and compare them with hers.
