3/3 of the ruby crowned kinglet. After this was taken, it flew off to eat its morsel and returned many more times later.

This and the next two posts are a series of a ruby crowned kinglet. You can see some of its ruby crown. Enjoy! We certainly love having this tiny gem of a bird around. 1/3

It is bitterly cold out right now and all the birds are “birbs”

Notice how she uses her tail feathers to brace herself. All woodpeckers do this, their tail feathers are much stiffer for this function. Female northern flicker.

That darn post got in the way 🤣 You can really see why they are called yellow shafted northern flickers, this is a female. In the western states, they are red shafted. Beautiful birds!

She was trying to get a drink of water but the top layer had frozen, but I took care of that 👍. A female eastern bluebird.

He is a very handsome woodpecker…a yellow bellied sapsucker.

What’s not to love about squirrels? They are so amazingly resourceful. I love how he specifically uses the blocks of compacted snow to reach the water.

After bailing out of the mealworm feeder, a pine warbler looks back longingly as the bluebirds took over the feeder. So pitiful.. it soon discovered the other feeder. See post 👇

Hopefully this will result in a nesting site when spring arrives.

A close call while they were feeding. A dark eyed junco and a goldfinch. The junco gave him a piece of his mind 🤣 in the last photo.

I really love seeing the falling sleet in this photo of a ruby crowned kinglet as it feeds on the suet.

Snowbirds photos coming up

Dark eyed juncos feeding on seed that I have thrown out for them. It’s difficult for them to find food since everything is buried under at least 8 inches of snow.

First they shared the suet until the hairy woodpecker left, leaving the yellow bellied sapsucker alone during the snowstorm. We have gotten over 12 inches of snow and sleet and it’s still coming down.

Warning ⚠️ lots of birds in the snow photos in the upcoming days and weeks 🤓☃️❄️
This is a little ruby crowned kinglet as it sleets heavily outside at the suet feeder.
