More Winter Birds

A female Downy Woodpecker

She made a break for the feeder but came back to the suet.



A Red and White reject.  Not in focus for me.

Blue Jays are my favorite because of their color, but I love the chickadees as well. They are very bold and always are first to the seed. They are wicked hard to get a good picture of because they don't sit still for a second.
Again, these are all taken through the window so they are not sharp.

Winter Birds

I have feeders. Lots. I also have Carly's chair that I have placed in front of the side window that gives me a wonderful view of the feeders. I find I sit there often, watching the birds. Its hypnotic.
I was trying to get a Red and White picture with the male cardinal however, after the snowstorm, he seems to have let his mate get the food and he slept in.
Here are a few I took. They are not great. They are blurry and out of focus but its the best I could do through a window and those little guys move so quickly.

I think this is a Carolina Wren. The suet feeder is a favorite.

This is a goldfinch in winter feathers.

This Blue Jay is eyeing the feeder and a second later was on it gorging itself. My favorite to look at because of the color.
