mocking bird at work the day it snowed

Here is a cardinal in our snow and two days later after the snow melted a cardinal and Dove share the feeder

I don't remember seeing that first pic in the BH but it's gorgeous. The way the red berries are showing through the snow - great photography. And cardinals are always beautiful but with the dove peeking out it's great. I think you should submit it somewhere.

Thanks Sheri,, I really like the heart shaped snow flakes in it, don't know how it got there or why But I love that mockingbird sitting there!

wow

Love them all angelblossom.
Of course you have to save them all..

Your first shot is a male Brown-Headed Cowbird, and your second shot is a Tufted Titmouse.

I knew that. Probably thanks to you. The cowbird was fighting the wind and the snow bless his heart.

Good Picture Sheri! I got a picture of a cowbird yesterday Just haven't loaded it yet.

I watched A mockingbird chase away Cedar wax wings today from a berry bush at work,, the mockingbird was furious,, literally Squawking at it and diving towards it~ the cedarwax wings finally gave up on that bush

Mockingbirds Hiss and Growl when they attack. Mockingbirds like fruit so this Mockingbird was driving the Waxwings away from "HIS" food!

red headed wood pecker...and he was doing his job

and the usual, red bird, blue jays, black birds....

This was yesterday but I didn't get a chance to get on here and share it until now. When I got home from work yesterday the first thing I noticed was a flock of crows. They were dive bombing and trying to scare off, what I believe, was a hawk. It was too small to be an eagle. Whatever it was it was something that the crows didn't like but it wasn't too bothered with them. The second thing I noticed was this little pop sound. At first I thought maybe my neighbor had a weird car alarm beep but then I realized that it was followed by a shrillish chirping sound. I looked up and saw a hummingbird on my neighbors roof, he turned toward the sun and I saw his beautiful red neck. Then he shot up in the air, hovered there for a minute, swooped back down, made his little pop noise, landed and did his chirp thing again. He did this four or five times before I saw him wrestling with another hummingbird before they both flew off. I have never seen that before, but I have read about the Anna's hummingbirds doing that. I looked it up and sure enough I had witnessed him performing his display. Now I need to carry a video camera around with me.

Doesnt that just kill you not to be loaded with a camera?

Here's the only one I seen today.

Hope you like it .

Cheryl isn't it fun when you see something you've never witnessed before in nature?? Like the scissor tail here they make Loops in flying in their mating ritual,, It's awesome to see!
