These are images from the last two weeks of December, we had a snow storm, I have been seeing lots of yard birds coming and going to the feeders.  A few recent sightings included the Northern Flicker and a group of Eastern Bluebirds. There have been lots of Dark-eyed Juncos, Blue Jays, Cardinals, Nuthatches, Chickadees, WT Sparrows, Tufted Titmouse, Downy Woodpeckers, Hairy Woodpeckers and the Red-bellied Woodpeckers. 

1. Below is the male Yellow-shafted Northern Flicker, he has the black malar mark.

 

 

 

2. Eastern Bluebirds stopped by at the Winterberry bushes during the snow storm.  These berries do not last long, I have seen a flock of Robins eat all them in a short time.

 

 

3. Downy Woodpecker and a Hairy Woodpecker. The Hairy is larger in size, their head, body and the bill are all bigger.  

 

 

 

4. Two male Northern Cardinals and one female sitting in the bush.

 

 

 

 

5.  Two White-breasted Nuthatches, Northern Cardinal with an American Goldfinch, bottom row is a Pine Siskin and a White-throated Sparrow.

6. Northern Cardinal in the pine tree, Downy Woodpecker, Dark-eyed Junco and the Northern Flicker.

 

 

 

7.  The woodpeckers together below in the front is the female Downy Woodpecker and behind is the larger Hairy Woodpecker.

8.  The Blue Jays are daily visitors, they love the peanuts, sunflower seeds and peanut butter suet balls.

I hope everyone had a happy and safe New Year's. I wish everyone all the best in 2021.
