Seen from almost any angle, American goldfinches are handsome, curious, acrobatic birds, making them a delight to see.

*Almost* any angle.

Just learned the vivid white spots on these starlings is the early winter plumage and that the spots are actually tips of the feathers.

Recovering from COVID, I haven’t had a chance to get out birding in a while. All the more reason to be grateful for the back yard birds in winter, reliable fluffs of joy for just the cost of a few peanuts and seeds. White-breasted nuthatch in Tulsa, OK. 🪶 #feederbirds #backyardbirding

This Golden-crowned Kinglet may be tiny, but it’s a winter warrior with serious punk rock vibes. Caught this one looking both regal and mildly unimpressed.

A Crimson Breast—upon a Stake—
Sufficeth Landscape quite—
No Clover—nor a Bumble-make—
So bold—a burning Light—

The Meadow—dim—could do without—
Such Heraldry of Day—
A Robin's Hue—put Doubt to Rout—
And Winter—flew away—

"Scarlet Splendor. The Male Northern Cardinal, with its bright red plumage and distinctive black face mask, stands out as a vibrant symbol of winter landscapes."

Did I completely pepper spray myself with hot pepper bird seed dust before I thought of my unused chemistry goggles? Yes. Yes I did. #BackyardBirding

He's alive ♥️🤍🖤 He finally showed up two days ago in the afternoon. But he's very cold, doing everything to protect body heat. Hope the cold lets up soon. We're ready for winter to be over. #BackyardBirding #birds #woodpeckers #birding

February's Last Light

Gold on frost, the sun's goodbye,
Spring's soft breath, in brightening sky.
Titmouse chirps, a hopeful plea,
Crunching grass, waits patiently.

Winter fades, a gentle grace,
Warmth arrives in time and space.

Turkey hen taking on the role of "traffic cop" to ensure all it's friends make it safely across 506/509 to head up Buckshot Lake Road here in North Frontenac Township. They even know the rules of the road as they are all walking facing traffic. #backyardbirding #wildturkey #turkey #winter #snow

Feeding a Red Breasted Nuthatch during a particularly cold day. The birds seem to dig me which I dig in return. And yes …: plaid.
