Lay-Z-Boy Birding

So, in case you are wondering (care), there is a difference between Bird Watching and Birding, with the latter requiring a more active rather than passive approach. Today's BOTD was the result of Bird Watching. Actually, I am not sure I could have been less active, and if not for taking the picture would have been content to watch them through the window from the comfort of the recliner. Nevertheless, among the Black-crested Titmice, Carolina Chickadees, House Sparrows, Carolina Wrens, and Northern Cardinals that were active at my feeders this morning, these Lesser Goldfinches stole the show. Although they are year-round residents here, they have steadily increased in numbers in my backyard over the last month. With each day they become more confident. They are also great little fliers, and fun to watch chase each other through the branches and around the feeder. For those who might be interested in the photograph, this was taken from the same location as the digiscoped picture from the post a few days ago. I shot both from the same location inside my house, this time using a regular lens instead of the spotting scope.
