A raptor stands tall on a branch, with yellow leaves and blue sky behind. The raptor's wings are dark brown (almost black), with a streak of the same color extending through the yellow eye. The breast is white with a few brown speckles. The belly is white.

A Tufted Titmouse perched in a Tamarack tree. Tamarack trees are the only conifers that shed their needles in the winter, which turn yellow before dropping.

Evening snow falling at the eastern base of the Sierra Nevada mountains in Nevada.

A house light illuminates snow falling in the evening. There is snow on the ground (several inches), trees, low brick walls, and across the street a house has the warm glow of interior lights. Sheridan, Nevada.
