I don't think we've posted a Titmouse photo in a while.

Snowy Day Fun

 

 

Lots of birds around today, but instead of taking pictures we decided to take advantage of the good snowman making snow, nice and sticky. We used a sliced sweet potato for buttons. Chris dropped a piece on the way inside, and later we saw a squirrel eating it. The bottom photo is not a picture of the squirrel who liked the sweet potato. This squirrel is affectionately named by us So Teeny. It is much smaller than all the other squirrels and often comes by alone for a snack. If we keep feeding it, maybe it will catch up to the others.


Here's another photo of So Teeny.

Another Yellow-bellied Sapsucker

We've had a female sapsucker frequenting our yard and today a male came by. He was much more aggressive, chasing away the red-bellied and downy woodpeckers.

When will winter end?

Sapsucker

This sapsucker seems to be thriving, but we're getting tired of the cold and snow. Can't wait for the night heron and oriole to return, but we have a few months to go.
If it weren't for scrabble and RumChata, we'd go crazy.

Red tailed hawk: Photo by Frank

 




Recently a red tailed hawk moved into my area. I see it almost daily now. It has already killed a few squirrels in my backyard. Attached are some of the better pics but I have tons. I especially like the one with the squirrel getting close to the hawk. I can't imagine what the hawk was thinking ;-)
