Just a Cloudy Cold Day

She was looking for bugs at the same place yesterday.

She's  a Downy WoodPecker

 I love the markings on WoodPeckers

This is a female Hairy WoodPecker, they're a bit bigger

than a Downy.

 

I saw tulip sprouts JUST peeking out of the soil this

morning..Spring IS coming

Robins

Yesterday I heard singing outside my office window.

When I went to look, the Crab Apple Tree was FULL

of Robins.  They love to eat theses berries after

they have fermented over the winter.

By the time I grabbed the camera, only one Robin was left in the tree.

Spring is coming, they'll be back & so will the Cedar Wax Wings..they 

love to get drunk on berries and court the females.

Deer and Woodpecker

It's dusk , thus the not so good pics. 

See the White Tail? Hubby's voice scared them off.
A Downy Woodpecker, male
A male Red Belly Woodpecker. Looking for bugs on a cold winter's day.

Early Morning Birds in The Snow

The cardinals are starting to sing in the morning now.

Eagles

The Bald Eagles on the Illinois River. These have their

white head, so the are at least four years old.

  I saw a couple more where there was no place to stop and take

pics.

It's February already......March brings nice days.

GREAT.
