This bluebird had a ball splishing and splashing in the bird bath. He took a moment to look right at me as if to say “Do you mind, I’m bathing”.

A friend has been feeding peanuts to a flock of bluejays and without fail they arrive at 8 every morning for their breakfast special. Even in a snowstorm…

This Marten had no trouble making the jump from the trunk of a large Douglas Fir to the feeder hanging from one of its branches. We load the feeder with chunks of fat and fatty bones. The Marten was a frequent visitor in the winter of 2015-16

An late spring snow storm in Pa and the Finch returns to our yard for the second year

The Tundra Swans chose the Galestown Millpond as a winter stopover for about a month on their migration north. Every night about 800 Tundra Swans would descend upon the pond. In the mornings before they ascended back into the sky, they would tip upside down to tug at underwater plants (for food) along the pond border. I was fortunate to get a shot of five swans tipping simultaneously.

Your birds may be ‘sweet on suet’ but mine are besotted with bark butter.

Bushtits attracted to homemade vegetarian suet on apartment balcony. Such a delight!

Overwintering Anna’s have apparently been increasing in numbers here in Bellingham WA over the past decade. No doubt they get the choice of nesting sites, worth the price of population attrition through freezing. I maintain a small population of 4 or 5, also increasing in number each year.

This Bullocks Oriole family was hanging out at the jelly feeders and the young one got impatient as it yelled to Dad for food.

This Tufted titmouse was one of many birds to come to our window feeder.
