Bird(s)
It's been a good week for birds, although they rarely hang around until I can grab the camera and get into position to take their pictures. Today, all we seem to have right now are cardinals (lots of cardinals) and a small flock of sparrows. Usually, there would be juncos, chickadees, various and sundry finches, blue jays, starlings, wood peckers of various sizes, and so on. Needless to say, just because I wanted to take their pictures…. (I could probably get some pics at the other feeder in the backyard, but that would entail standing around in the cold and snow until they stopped worrying about me and came back to feed. So not happening.LOL) Because today's pics are so boring, I also threw in one from yesterday where the hawk was perched over the pond. He very resolutely kept his back to us, so no face pics.
Without further ado…
aloof hawk
greedy cardinal hiding from the snow in the feeder
sparrows catching the things he drops

ETA Believe it or not, I found this one - January 2011 is the date on it.

Our feeders are quite deserted this year - our winter is so unusually warm that we have only very few birds with very little variety - the rest probably hadn't come so far south at all.
