Buddy thinks they are pigeons.
Update...my blogging friends say these are probably Mourning Doves.

ReplyDeleteHi Genie, I think the big guys are Mourning Doves. Beautiful shots of the White-breasted Nuthatch!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have some doves visiting you Genie and that little nuthatch is all over that feeder. I love how must of the time they are upside down.
ReplyDeleteYou look like you were getting much larger flakes of snow than we had. I think we only got about three inches in my area.
Doves perhaps? (Compare to my pic at http://webcroft.blogspot.com/2013/01/jay-and-dove.html)
ReplyDeleteThey are so cute, well done!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely nice and fun visit bird to eat! Nice pictures!
ReplyDeleteThey may be pigeons but I suspect they are mourning doves. (The photo is a tad too dark for me to see clearly.) I love the white-breasted nuthatch in the last few photos!
ReplyDeleteI don't know the first thing about birds but they look like mourning dove to me. Great pics.
ReplyDeletei was thinking doves too...i don't know much about birds but i know those! how nice they all have a place to come eat...you're a regular golden corral in the bird world :)
ReplyDeleteCute collection of birds, the nuthatch is a favorite of mine!
ReplyDeleteThose photos could have been taken in my backyard. I have the same assortment plus chickadees, titmice, and woodpeckers of all sizes.
ReplyDeleteyour feeding station is a god send to those birds during your harsh weather, well done
ReplyDeleteWe have doves, sparrows, but I've never seen a nuthatch before. Pretty looking bird. Very nice photos!
ReplyDeleteVery nice series of winter visitors you have! That white stuff sure makes me shiver though!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Mourning Doves.
I see you get names. :) Your nuthatch is very goodlooking. :)
