Green-tailed Towhee ~ This bird was very shy, running across the ground for cover. It did come to the feeder, but stayed under the porch stairs, gleaning seeds scattered by the other bolder birds. This was at Virginia Lakes Resort, at 9770 feet elevation in the east Sierras.
Cassin's Finch ~ While on the east side of the Sierras, I drove up to Virginia Lakes Resort. They have a bird feeder there, and I sat and watched for quite awhile, to see what would show up. Although there were several female Cassin's Finches, this was the only male to show up, with its pretty colors.
Mountain Chickadee ~ This chickadee was photographed at the feeder at Virginia Lakes Resort, on the east side of the Sierras.
