Red, Yellow, Blue & Migrating Birds and New Bird Feeders

This is a mixture of different birds we have been seeing on a regular basis the last week or so and also two new bird feeders I just finished for use in Arizona next winter.  We will use one and the other will be used by our friends Carol and Dan.  Enjoy the pictures.
 
The blue bird is an Indigo bunting and the one in the background is a female Rose-breasted Grosbeak.  We see the male Rose-breasted Grosbeak quite often but didn't get any pictures.
 
 
This is of course a Goldfinch.  We have several visiting the feeding now.
 
 
This is our resident Cardinal.  I think he and his mate stay here most of the year.  He isn't as red right now as he will be later in the summer.
 
 
This is the backside of the two new feeders.
 
 
This is a side view showing the hooks that hold one side of the roof down.
 
 
This is the front side of the feeders.
 
 
This shows the roof open and ready for the feeder to be filled with bird food.  The red things inside are "V" shaped inserts that will get the seeds to flow out under the sight windows.
 
 
This is a temporary visitor on the way to Canada where he will spend the summer.  It is a Yellow-rumped Warbler.  If you look closely between his wings, you can see some of his yellow rump.
 
 
This is another shot of the Yellow-rumped Warbler
 
 
That's the show for today.
