With the warmer than normal weather this winter we haven't seen any Snowy Owls yet. Hopefully we will get a few weeks in February cold enough to bring the juveniles to this side of Lake Erie....... Enjoy this Image from a few years ago.

The local birdseed store where I get my seed and suet just made me a barter: $65 worth of suet in return for their use of this photo on two in-store posters. Win-win, especially for the birds.

Silly games.

Today's bluebirds - shot right out my home office window during an afternoon snowfall in New England.

After last night's snowfall, these two were seen in a back yard tree.

More backyard birds shot out the window today during a gentle snowfall: a mourning dove, a blue jay, a dark-eyed junco, and a robin.

This week it was bluebirds up in the trees outside my office.

I came home one day this week and I had this guy under my bird feeder. His mate was with him but I didn’t get a good shot of her. Canon R5 with a 400mmf4 DOii.

Storms build in the east as the Tawny eagle perched upon a dead tree brings his attention to the western planes. The photo was taken in late afternoon golden sunlight. Batswana

We've lived in our house for 18 years and never had the birds we've had this Winter. There is so much snow at elevation that many birds have come down, just like the deer, elk and others. The rarest for me is the Lewis's Woodpecker, I'd never seen one before and had a hard time identifying.





While photographing the woodpecker some Bluebirds and Steller's Jays were scavenging, just had to turn the tripod a bit:

A Male & Female Wood Duck, love shooting these but they are very skittish here. Their colors are amazing.

Very wet bluebirds during a New England snowstorm.

Northern Barred Owl. I've been looking for this guy for 2 weeks now, on a tip from a friend. This opportunity was last night, too bad there were branches in the way.

A couple from yesterday. Fairly certain the nest is a nursery.

This one started zooming in on me, while I was doing some work out in the yard. Best pic I could get of it, since it was aggressively in my face. There's likely a nest nearby.

Condor came by for a play date with a dead Opossum on our street. Crows were harassing it.
