| Just a Brown Bird ? Think again, a Yellow-rumped Warbler |
Did you know there are over 10,000 bird species in the world? I've discovered that viewing birds through a strong camera lens or binoculars is a necessity for identification. A small brown bird looks totally different magnified. I was thinking we only had
White Throated Sparrows at our suet feeder but after magnification, I discovered actually both Sparrows and the
Yellow-rumped Warbler were dining at our feeder. More common birds become brilliant through the camera lens.

A pair of
Red Bellied Woodpeckers has finally gotten together and were enjoying the suet in the snow today. I've heard drumming on our gutter now for a solid month. I'm glad they have finally hooked up for the season. I can hear my favorite Woodpecker,
the Pileated, on
Forsythia Hill but have only gotten glimpses this early in the season. A
Cardinal pair was ground feeding together in the snow. It was predicted we would have .1" and it looks like 6" is more like it!

I love all birds, from our Chickens and
Crows to the Nuthatch. The
White-breasted Nuthatch has always been my favorite bird. Climbing on trees with that slicked back 50's Elvis style cap. I've always referred to them as Little Elvis. I've not yet gotten a good shot, they move so quickly.
You can see how I'm spending this snowy day... enjoying nature.
Happy Snow!
