Saw a chickadee too up close and personal today, so unafraid, cheered up my morning seeing the little fellow.

Saw a chickadee too up close and personal today, so unafraid, cheered up my morning seeing the little fellow.
I put some crumbs out on the balcony for the (little) birds as the ground is covered with snow. They seem to like perching themselves on top of the buddha's head lol

I counted sixteen robins in the catalpa tree this morning. They didn't look too happy. There's close to 10cm of snow on the ground right now and it's still coming.
They brought friends. Apparently, the catalpa tree is THE place to be. I gave up counting at about 30.
We were on our way out today from our place just outside of Bracebridge and were pleasantly surprised to see what we believe to be a Pileated Woodpecker.

I am sure I have heard robin's for the last few days, but haven't SEEN any yet. (London)
My wife bought a bird feeder a couple of weeks ago.
A few pretty common birds seem to be making it a regular feeding spot.
Nice to occasionally look out the window and see birds feeding

I SAW that robin I have been hearing yesterday. But then it WAS about 10 degrees. Everyone and their dogs were out walking yesterday!
There was a hawk in the neighbor's willow this afternoon.
Going to have to rethink the location of the feeder

My wife was not happy but I find it funny !!!
We saw this guy very close to our house and have already sent the pics of the bird to the Trumpeter Swan Society who were very interested in the exact location of the bird.

Woodpecker - not sure what kind, and I'm not sure they are common to our area.
Amazing how small it is, but wowsers - that's some fast pecking it does!
Seeing more in the back yard these days ... Robins, Blue Jays, Cardinals, and Finches.
The usual - robins, starlings, chickadees. Heard the cardinals but haven't managed to see one yet. Shy little critters.

She did not have time to adjust the camera to get better pics but all in all I think they are pretty good
Three baby robins in a tree next door. Did not try to get photos. Do not want to intrude.
I have been on a waiting list for 2 years to get a plot at my community garden...finally got one recently and was there the other day and there were 4 little hummingbirds enjoying the rosemary bush.
I recently got a new DSLR camera (thank you SDM points) so thought I would take my camera to the garden one day and practice taking pics.
Baltimore Orioles have been around for almost 2 weeks now and yesterday the first Hummingbird made an appearance. It pays to have their feeders ready.
GoodBoy those are incredible photos and it looks like that blue jay took a whooping.Thanks for sharing.
@Thatdone - those are fabulous photos; kudos to your wife!
I don't know what the heck was in our yard or on our street - my son asked who imported the bird from the jungle! That's just what it sounded like; it was very cool!
Lots of robins lately, which is very nice. Other songbirds, can't see them, so no clue what they could be - but with very pretty songs.
