This White-throated Sparrow has regularly visited the yard for several days now.

Tilting
While reviewing photos I came across this photo of a Turkey Vulture tilting, riding the wind.
Profile.
Even though the light makes its colour hard to distinguish, the profile clearly distinguishes this bird: It is a Northern Cardinal.
Speckled.
This Red-winged Blackbird was speckled by snowflakes.
Sought
This Mourning Dove sought bits of seed.
Settled down
These two Mourning Doves settled down for a brief snooze outside my office window.
I had no idea.
I was able to capture several images of a Red-bellied Woodpecker this afternoon. I had no idea which photo to post. I chose this one,
Tilt and soar.
We have looked forward to the Turkey Vultures’ return. It is good to see this first one return, and we look forward to watching them tilt and soar for the next several months.
This Downy Woodpecker is a regular visitor to my feeders.
———————-
Thank you to all of my visitors and especially the newer visitors and followers.
I will very rarely write about COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, events, personalities, which revolve around what is happening in the first half of 2020. There are many, many sources for news (and so-called news) about this terrible affliction; sources for facts (which may or may not be facts); for places to find opinions, informed and otherwise.
This is a place for a little respite, a little calm, perhaps a little tranquillity in the midst of all that is going on. It seems to me that many of us, most of us, perhaps almost all of us need a little respite, a little calm, a little tranquillity, a little pleasure, from all of the upheaval in our lives. I need such a place.
This is and will continue to be that kind of place.
Perched
