Linking up with NF Winged and Skywatch Friday
On this day, hubby and I took a local walk on the fireroad near our place.. There was snow on the ground and some on the trees and it was a little breezy day . I have begun to count the birds in my yard and on the fireroad trail for Ebird.. These are some photos from our Pine tree loop walk..
Our neighborhood fireroad walk..
Sky above the tall pines.
Wind blown snow and a sunburst.
I really loved how this scene looked during our walk..

A regular at my feeder is the female Downy Woodpecker.

Excellent pictures Eileen..... it's a lovely post again.
Greetings from Holland, Joop
Astonishing pictures from your pine tree loop walk. The tall pines and the sun burst through the trees is brilliant.The woodpecker is charming.
I love the trees with the sunlight filtering through the pine boughs!!
Your bird count is impressive. I did the CBC just for myself and started out keeping count and gave up 'cause some of the birds [like grackles, cormorants, pelicans, and others] were way too massive in numbers. So, I just started marking them off by species/name.
Your walk, Eileen, looks like our surrounding property...beautiful!...:)JP
The photos for today are beautiful, Eileen!
I love the sun through the trees
Those captures of light! They look magical!
I too loved the photo of the sunlight through the pines. Nice photos of the female and male Downey WP.
Hi Eileen. Loved the forest scenes, sunset and of course the Woodpeckers.
Beautiful place with such lovely birds.
LOVE your sunburst photo, and the sunset is gorgeous!

Beautiful of the tree, Eileen, and I love the woodpeckers!

You have the best neighborhood walks! Thanks for the link; I will visit.
Blogger keeps losing my comments today... Grrrrrr.
I said for you to have Good Luck with your bird count. We have lots of birds here at the feeders this week.

Wonderful pictures and so lovely birds, greetings
I would love to walk that walk- so pretty! Have a great weekend!
I really like the woodpeckers! Your walk looks nice. Lots of trees!
You got some excellent photos on your walk. The forest is beautiful, as are the colors of the sunset.
great images eileen and how fun to keep a list of sightings!!
gorgeous skies!!
I try to keep up with eBird-- I tend to wait for something unusual before reporting but really should be reporting on the baseline status of common birds.
I love walking in the woods in the snow.
That first picture makes me want to take a walk down there too. : )
Lovely captures, Eileen, as always! I love the birds as always, but my favorite today it sunlight streaming through the trees!! Gorgeous!! Hope your new year is off to a great start!! Enjoy!!
Dearest Eileen;
Wow!!! What beautiful pictures of the sky, my photographer fiend.
Sun burst and sunset; how GORGEOUS and I LOVED to see the woodpecker enjoying the food(^_^)v
Sending you lots of Love and Hugs from Japan to my dear friend in America, xoxo Miyako*
Great shots!
Wonderful shots of the pines and birds. I love the sun bursts through the pines!
Beautiful woods, and I loved your photos of the sunlight behind the trees!
A beautiful series of photos Eileen. I especially like the way the sun is captured peeking through the tree branches. I also love the path that you get to take a walk on.
Oh Eileen, I love your shots of the sun filtering through those pine trees. The Downy woodpeckers are so pretty.
You always have wonderful visitors.
Love the sunburst and sunset captures. Happy weekend, Eileen.
Love the shots of the sun shining through the trees!
Excellent pictures Eileen.
I love the sun through the trees, and the woodpecker I find sublime.
Great pictures Eileen, especially the ones with the trees.
The forest shots are fabulous as your birds are too. Magic sunset.

The light in these photos is simply stunning well done
Hi Eileen, Wow! Two Pileated Woodpeckers. Marvelous to see and hear. Glad you saw and counted so many different birds. Have a tremendous weekend!
looks like a wonderful walk in the forest. thanks for taking us along with you, eileen.
great shots as usual!
big hugs!
Great photos of the sun through the trees but I love the Woodpeckers the most :)
great images. Love the great sunbeams in the forest. That´s gorgeous. :)
What a magical walk Eileen, the light and snow through the trees is just breathtaking!
I love the snowy starburst;what a great combo! The colorful sky is also beautiful! Nature sure is amazing:)
Splendid, my friend.
Gorgeous! I love the fourth photo! Great light!
Love that sunburst shot! Have a great weekend.
It looks to be a nice area where you live Eileen, and well done with the sunburst ones. We'll be swapping to eBird from our local recording site in February, so that will be a bit of a challenge as it will be different.
So beautiful! Looks like you had a wonderful walk.
Stunningly beautiful Eileen, wow!!!
I love those pine trees pics with the amazing light! Stunning! But most of all i like your sunset-it really is a very beautiful, but dramatic pic with all those lines and bright colour. Thanks for being part of Mandarin Orange Monday:)
Wow!Love those rays in the woods.
I love the first forest scenes, they seem they were taken with a wide angle.
Oh, what gorgeous shots! I love the birds and the shots with the sunburst.
