Northern Flicker, Finches, and a Tenacious Squirrel

Northern flicker

House finch

American goldfinch looking quite messy, as his black cap of summer feathers comes in.

If you click on the squirrel pictures to enlarge them, then use your keyboard arrows to navigate through them, you will see the squirrel 'in action'.

Dark-eyed junco.  He won't be around much longer; soon he'll be winging his way to northern Canada, the Northwest Territories, or Alaska.
