American Goldfinch (male and female)

I found out that I could attract goldfinches with thistle seed (Nyger), so I set up a feeder and didn't have to wait very long before they found it. We were sure excited to see something so bright yellow at our feeder!

Cliff Swallow

We found these Cliff Swallows in their characteristic gourd-shaped mud nests high up under a ledge of our church building.

Red-winged Blackbird

We got a far-away glimpse of this Red-winged Blackbird during a nature walk along the Jordan River Parkway.

Mourning Dove

Another find from tonight's stroll along the Parkway.

Swainson's Hawk

My husband stopped the car so I could take pictures of this Swainson's Hawk from the side of the road in Eagle Mountain town center.
