Red-bellied woodpecker

Our recent snowy weather has brought my favorite photographic subject back to the feeder – the elusive red-bellied woodpecker.

Duck Down

A winter trip to the local bird sanctuary on a sunny day yielded some great photos.

Snow business

Our recent snowy weather, below zero temperatures and bright sunshine have made for some great photos. Here’s a sampling.

Marsupial invasion

I found this critter stopping by to help himself to a peanut butter-bird seed mix I had put out for the birds. I don’t like to encourage wild animals to get that cozy in our yard, so I won’t be putting out peanut butter again. In the meantime, he had a great meal and wasn’t just playing possum.

Snow bird

What could be prettier than a fat red cardinal against a back drop of fluffy white snow? I just hope Mr. Cardinal shows up later today when we get another eight inches of the pretty white stuff.

Hello kitty!

I only had a few seconds to snap this photo. The black and white kitty who hangs out under my bird feeder hoping for a meal, decided to spend a few seconds peering  into my world. Maybe she was cold or just wanted to see who puts out the food for all those birds she wants to eat. In any case, I took the photo-op. I may try some of my photo editing software on this one, and share the changes later.  And I sure wish the window had been cleaner that day.

I took this photo with my iPod instead of my fancy camera – not bad I think.
