Feeder Hopping

We have been bouncing around the county to various bird feeders to capture the birds feeding. I guess we call that, ‘feeder hopping’.

We had a lot of snow the night before I shot this photo. This Tufted Titmouse was checking out dinner. He would land, then take off about as fast as he arrived. About 5 inches below where she is setting a woodpecker was enjoying a snack. It was a busy feeder.

Hiding Places?

I just about missed this this Belted Kingfisher. I think this is the same one I photographed a couple weeks ago with his lunch. I have seen and heard him several times since, but today I found him in this tree. He is kind of hard to pick out of the branches, but he’s cool looking.

The Warm Before The Cold

It is about to get very cold here in Ohio. The temperature late this week will be in the single digits. Brrrr.

These geese do not seem to mind. They were just taking in the mild weather and enjoying some time in this pond.

Teresa captured this photo this week. Great shot.

Eagle Family Check In

I have been taking photos of these two eagles for a couple years. They have a nest near where this one was hanging out last week.

It’s not a great photo (very long shot), The cropped photo is not too bad but not great.

We will have eggs soon, and then eaglets! I try to get close enough to check in frequently, but never closer than where I was when I took this photo. It’s a very safe distance for these beautiful creatures.

A Bug Feast?

This is a Red-bellied Woodpecker. I see this variety of woodpecker frequently, but this one was feasting on some local bugs. I can only assume he was enjoying the feast.

The weather has not been nice, but on this day, the clouds cleared and the sun warmed things up. The birds were so active. He ignored me for a while, then flew off with some good, high quality protein in that red belly.
