I ended my last post with a black and white version of this eagle so I am beginning this one with color images, taken as the sun was setting, of the same subject...
The bald eagle is the largest bird commonly found in these parts. The tiny brown creeper is one of the smallest...
Notice how the beak appears to be flexible, allowing the creeper to probe beneath bark and vines in search of food...
An energetic chickadee is finding seeds in a natural environment...
It is rare to have a cooperative northern flicker, so I am especially grateful for this pair...
Some "hoar frost" that only occurs in certain atmospheric conditions...
The dark-eyed junco is a common winter visiter; some call it a "snow bird"...
I was lucky to capture this kestrel in flight...
Often called a "sparrow hawk", the kestrel is our smallest falcon...
Being in the right place at the right time makes all the difference...
A red-tailed hawk scanning for breakfast recently...
Remembering to check out tree cavities can produce sightings like this red-morph screech owl...
Sometimes a gray-morph will be in the same location on a different day...
A song sparrow lingers in nice lighting...
A tufted titmouse later in the morning...
There seems to be an unusually large number of black and turkey vultures in our area this year...
This black vulture sports a number that indicates that it is a participant in a study of vulture movement patterns...
When the pressure became too great it took off for a more peaceful place to eat...
When the competition is this fierce a peaceful spot may be hard to find...
Finally, a yellow-rumped warbler, to provide a bright spot on this winter evening...
Thanks for visiting, be well, and come back soon.
