Winter visitors at my feeders....

The usual variety of birds are stopping by daily....I really like the Red-bellied Woodpecker. I think he is doing his abdominal exercises here.
Head left....pull up...tail right
Now repeat that several times.

House Finch female

Here comes the "peanut thief".......concentrate on the target...

...got it! I was trying to take videos of him stealing the peanuts, but he is pretty fast at times. Once in a while he stops and stuffs TWO of them in his beak at once! Such greed!

"I better get one before that Blue Jay hogs them all!"

How is he holding that????

"Bet you can't get that off the ground"

(but he did)

As long as there are only two, the Starlings are interesting to watch. I don't think any other bird that comes has such interesting feathers.

Each feather has that light colored tip. A really "spotty" bird, but it makes it easy to recognize when they are in a mass of black birds.

All angles.....wing tips up, tail down. Watching birds balance is a real treat at times.

There are lots more birds out there at the feeders, but the gloomy days make some of them hard to capture well. At least they provide entertainment on those gloomy days. Winter would be awful without them!
