It's tricky, birding! Those of us living with snow know how difficult it is to photograph something in the snow. Also, I have trouble focusing. Period. You'll get the gist, however.
We had a big storm Sunday afternoon into Sunday night. Monday, Nov. 23rd we had a red-wing blackbird. They should have flown by now.
I did see a Downy Woodpecker take a crack at a chickadee. The woodpecker had feathers on her beak after the incident, which pissed her off! She kept whacking her beak on the feeder.
American tree sparrow!

...we may be seeing this midweek!
When you have a lot of snow in the frame (mostly a snow scene) you usually have to overexposed a bit.
Hello,
Nice variety of birds and photos. The Cardinals look so colorful in the snow. Take care, enjoy your day! Have a happy new week!
That splash of red, beautiful, and so many you identified. Love the scenes, it all looks very peaceful and beautiful.Enjoy your day. We had a brilliant red sky for a few minutes, so maybe the saying will eventuate. Glad I'm not a shepherd!!!
I think that you did well!
It's interesting that your cardinal looks just like the cardinals in Hawaii. I remember blue jays being very aggressive in Illinois.
You have some very good birding in your yard.
It looks like winter, Jenn. For something difficult, I think you did well, especially with the cardinal taking off.
I like those two bright pictures of the male Cardinals.
I would have guessed that you photographed a Hairy Woodpecker by the length of the beak.
Oh I love this round up of your bird visitors, just about all that's visiting us these days. You got some great captures there. I had two mourning doves at the feeders this morning which is odd for here. The weather is odd too now with lots of rain in the forecast.
