Of all the months, February and March are often the most varied and unpredictable. You never know quite what to expect, both at the feeder and at the treetop. Here in the northeast it's "shiver me timbers".
White-breasted nuthatch, favored position
Subtle hues, subtle view of the titmouse
The tree sparrow, an occasional visiter
Often seen , always heard, the name "red-bellied" (f), quite absurd
The crisp presence of a cardinal against a snowy backdrop
The huddled look of a wintering downy
The red-shouldered hawk, with whom we share our acre of land
A bald eagle perched high above the Ashokan Reservoir
Tis been a bitter month, locally...

Red-bellied Woodpecker: the male, a more difficult "capture"
