This red shouldered hawk was keeping an eye on the feeders until I accidentally interrupted his vigil #birds #nature #Canon #R5Mk2 #photography #wildlife #birdphotography #raptors

A male yellow-bellied sapsucker dining on the suet. Tree sap isn’t flowing this time of the year when it’s this cold and he has been a frequent visitor at the suet feeders. He will stay there for long periods. #birds #nature #Canon #R5Mk2 #photography #wildlife #birdphotography #woodpeckers

Peek-a-boo … I looked out and saw this bluejay peeking from the branches #birds #nature #Canon #R5Mk2 #photography #wildlife #birdphotography #bluejay

Adorbs male downy woodpecker. I think they must recognize me now because they will let me get fairly close and remain eating before flying off. #birds #nature #Canon #R5Mk2 #photography #wildlife #birdphotography #woodpeckers

Love the way the sun illuminated the crest of this male pileated woodpecker today. #birds #nature #Canon #R5Mk2 #photography #wildlife #birdphotography #woodpeckers

This is a female Ruby Crowned Kinglet that has been here all winter. I keep hoping I will see a male, no luck so far. She is a brave and bold little bird, eating suet and seeds with the other birds. #birds #nature #Canon #R5Mk2 #photography #wildlife #birdphotography #warblers

A white breasted nuthatch, it’s tough trying to hang on to those seeds. First had a piece of a walnut, but lost it and left with a sunflower seed #birds #nature #Canon #R5Mk2 #photography #wildlife #birdphotography #nuthatch

Focused… the target is the platform feeder! #birds #nature #Canon #R5Mk2 #photography #wildlife #birdphotography #bluebirds

1/2 A perfect liftoff after a quick refuel #birds #nature #Canon #R5Mk2 #photography #wildlife #birdphotography #bluebirds

1/2 I gave her a perfect 10… #birds #nature #Canon #R5Mk2 #photography #wildlife #birdphotography #cardinals

The male cardinals are vividly coloured during the winter months. There were at least 10 cardinals at the feeders this morning. They must sense the storm approaching.. #birds #nature #Canon #R5Mk2 #photography #wildlife #birdphotography #cardinals

I love how their wings blurred in the photos while their bodies are still and in focus… inbound early this morning. They must sense the storm approaching.. #birds #nature #Canon #R5Mk2 #photography #wildlife #birdphotography #cardinals

In case you are wondering, it’s a starling and squirrel proof bluebird feeder. Birds that are the same size or smaller can get in and out of it #birds #nature #Canon #R5Mk2 #photography #wildlife #birdphotography #easternbluebirds

A mourning dove. They are very gentle birds #birds #nature #Canon #R5Mk2 #photography #wildlife #birdphotography #doves

They help keep me sane with all the insanity happening #cats #mansbestfriend #felines

Way cool …

One of the female pileated woodpeckers having breakfast this morning. I have 4 living in the woods behind my home. It’s a real treat to see them. #birds #nature #Canon #R5Mk2 #photography #wildlife #birdphotography #woodpeckers
