Busy backyard
Today I have spotted cardinals, juncos and of course a quarrel of sparrows. A tiny Ruby-crowned Kinglet female second day in a row was foraging on gooseberry bush. What a joy. In the afternoon started to rain, but it was warm day with +15ºC.
P.S. Thank you very much for your kind comments ♥
