After the photo of the Tree sparrow yesterday, I am excited to share this photo of a Field Sparrow. She was setting in this tree overlooking a recently harvested field. How fitting.

This Male Downy Woodpecker was all over this tree. I saw the female not far from this same location. ❤️ They don’t seem to mind the snow.

It was very cold last week, and now it is much warmer. I am so grateful when the temperature warms up .. it just makes me feel so much better. I guess this is typical winter in Ohio ... cold, then warmer, then cold. I’m ready for spring.
I took this photo a couple weeks ago. This is a Carolina Chickadee. They are super active right now. Enjoy!

This is the second time I photographed a Carolina Wren in recent weeks. This one was at a few feet from the Stillwater River.
Speaking of this species of wren, did you know ...
There are seven recognized subspecies across the range of these wrens and they differ slightly in song and appearance. The birds are generally inconspicuous, avoiding the open for extended periods of time. When out in the open, they investigate their surroundings and are rarely stationary. After finding a mate, pairs maintain a territory and stay together for several years. Both males and females give out alarm calls, but only males sing to advertise territory. Carolina wrens raise multiple broods during the summer breeding season, but can fall victim to brood parasitism by brown-headed cowbirds, among other species. Some populations have been affected by mercury contamination. Wikipedia
Now back to looking for more birds.

When it snows, we start to see more birds hanging out at the bird feeders. That was the case with this Red-bellied Woodpecker . He seemed please with his find there.
