Some Winter Visitors

This morning this Northern Flicker was holding
his own against a couple Starlings. 

Sorry this is so far away.  He was close but
as I tried to photograph him he/she flew higher and
higher and soon was joined by 5 other ones. 
I couldn't identify it - just too far away.

Although I think the Crows are beautiful and
smart they're unwelcome.  They just bother the
other bird's too much.

How Can You Not Be Joyful

Have you seen this?  It just makes me feel good as well as amazed!         Diane

High Steppin' Crow

Don't you think there's something comical about crows? I love to watch them hop off the curb and then hop, hop, hop to get somewhere. Now you can't tell me that they don't enjoy their own antics. It just must feel good to hop around like that. This guy decided to cross the street so he crossed on the crosswalk and then hopped up onto the curb and strutted on down the sidewalk.

God bless you, Diane
