Time Lapse 9

Rhododendron 'Kristin'

The sun has finally emerged from behind the overcast to brighten the opening blossoms of Rhododendron 'Kristin.'  Above, a House Finch (Carpodacus mexicanus) and an American Goldfinch (Carduelis tristis) are in their best breeding colors.  Later in the day when the light has changed, a Townsend's Chipmunk (Tamias townsendii) strikes an uncharacteristically wary pose.  I wonder if they hear noises from the BirdCam.
