Nature's Christmas ornaments...
Lots of action at the bird feeder today. I thought I'd share some photos. This little acrobat is a female downy woodpecker. The little guy below was under the feeder looking for a handout. The birds were nice and left him some seeds.
This red breasted nuthatch was hard to get a photo of. He is fast. They really enjoy eating upside down. The turkey below got on the deck hoping to break into the feeders, but they are turkey proof. Too bad I didn't have any leftover
Thanksgiving turkey, I could have gotten a shot to rival the other Thanksgiving turkey photos.
This little gold finch looks so content. I have a beef with these guys; they only come around the feeder when they are in their winter coats. Not as flamboyant as the summer colors.
I had fun watching this Hairy Woodpecker. He can really get the acorn feeder swinging when he starts drilling. His colors are so sharp. It was a fun morning watching the birds. Hope you enjoyed the photos.

I LOVE seeing all your friends that have come into your yard, but I'm glad we're not having snow.
ReplyDeleteI'm really glad I don't have to hang upside down to eat!! Great pics!
ReplyDeleteOh, you have so much snow already. We haven't had much----yet. Any day now. The birds really appreciate your feeders, that's very obvious, wonderful photos!
ReplyDeleteAmazing shots. What's with all of the white stuff?
ReplyDeleteWow these are great they are just as good as the turkey shots for sure. The downy woodpecker I must say is y favourite. B
ReplyDeletethe photos look great. We want ours to fly south. They are eating not only their food but our chickens food too. I think we have every bird in town enjoying our smorgasbord.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing all your snowy photos of all your visitors! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteA real turkey shot, finally I get to see one that isn't plucked. They had turkeys on the farm here, but they all took off....

Beautiful shots, what lovely little creatures.
ReplyDeleteI was photographing a woodpecker yesterday - a female great spotted woodpecker. We have lots of goldfinches in the garden but they look nothing like yours. Yours looks more like our greenfinch. I just love watching them.
