On my walkabout - I attempted some pics of the birds that hang around through the winter months. I put suet blocks to help them along and also provides me the capability to capture some photos of them while they feed.
This is a Male Cardinal feeding with a Junco waiting his turn.
Originally I had identified this as a Female Cardinal but am having second thoughts. Usually the female is more brown than red but doesn't have black eye-stripe like the male. Oh, well, I'll stick with my original thought.
This little guy is a Junco and they're quite common around here just like the sparrows.
And this dude is a Northern Flicker - didn't get a good look at the breast area but the markings are almost exact. It's in the woodpecker family. This one is hanging on the telephone pole, just below a Blue Bird nesting box. I believe they.re trying to widen the opening on the Blue Bird house cause it'e all out of shape, as you can see below.
Ah Well - I'm about pictured out for today. Think I'll just sit back and enjoy the quiet beauty of the mountains and critters in winter. Enjoy your day.
