Cracks
An American Goldfinch cracks open a sunflower seed on a recent -17C morning.
Blends
This American Tree Sparrow’s plumage blends well with its surroundings.
Tidbit
A Downy Woodpecker visited this feeder in the backyard. I was able to capture it before it flew to a safe spot with its tidbit.
Interesting.
Three American Crows visited today. It was interesting to observe how the light highlighted the feathers on this ones’ back.
Cooper’s Hawk, again
Patience (and luck) paid off. I was able to capture this beautiful bird just outside my office window as it perched around 6 meters (20 feet) away from me. It was good to see that the eye I thought defective is not.
Cooper’s Hawk
This Cooper’s Hawk has visited my workplace daily for at least two weeks. When one feeds songbirds, one may also feed other birds.
I have unsuccessfully tried for these past two weeks to get a photo of this bird. Yesterday I was finally able to get this image through my office window.
So I did not notice before now that this bird may have a defective right eye. I will study it more closely to learn if that is the case. If it is indeed the case, that means it does not have binocular vision. If so, it is still an effective hunter.
Tidbits
In an an image blurred because I was shooting through a window, what I believe was a Chipping Sparrow inspects the snow-covered ground for tidbits.
Watches
On a gloomy afternoon, a Snowy Owl watches me watch him.
Pops up
A House Sparrow pops up for a look to see if the Cooper’s Hawk, which attempted to ambush birds at the feeder, has moved on.
