Mostly Birds On A Cold December Morning...

Frosty mornings, with temperatures in the mid 20's, has been the norm for the past couple of days.  The birds are active early looking for food.  I came upon a flock of 11 wild turkeys feeding in a small meadow...



When the sun had risen a little higher I found ths tufted titmouse eating the seeds of an Osage Orange fruit...





Just a short distance away was this house finch also looking for seeds...


A downy woodpecker explores a dead limb looking for breakfast...



As I was leaving the area I spotted this young fawn that appears to be suffering from a digestive ailment...poor thing!



On a remote country road I came across a deer carcass which was serving as a buffet for a number of carrion eaters...







Finally, this tiny brown creeper was an unexpected discovery...




As always, thanks for stopping by.
