Birds are cool Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Saw a bunch of ducks today, but my favorite bird was probably an Eastern Phoebe. I was able to get close enough to touch it! Many photos coming soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peromyscus Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 From Thursday, the three House Sparrows that were on the front deck to get out of the rain (and occasional sleet) and the falling temperatures. One of them was nestled right up against the door! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiscalus quiscula Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Today, a tiny Red-breasted Nuthatch that I haven't seen in a month or so. He landed on my window feeder just as I was filling it, less than a foot from my face. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peromyscus Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 The surprise Fox Sparrow (or Sparrows??) on a cold cloudy afternoon jaunt at a nearby park. The four Pileated Woodpeckers nearby are a close second though. And my wife's favorite bird, Brown Creeper, a close third. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
