Fat and ready for winter. He has a lot of faith in that screen door...

Not sure what is going on but this is the fourth birder that I know of who has had a phoebe perch on their binoculars or on their person at Commons Ford.

Typical Snowy Drama Queen
Not only did the weather make the water dramatic, but the egret got into the mood by going full battle mode. There was another snowy nearby.

In the evening in front of grocery actively pecking scraps.

Found alarmed by blackbids in the morning, resting still through the day, again alarmed at dusk by four blackbirds, still there early evening, but left during later hours.

vwoop

This bird was not afraid of humans. An escapee?

Not AI, not edited, not baited. Just this owl's favorite perch in my wild yard of native plants.

Means to an End
After pecking at the orange for awhile, this dove discovered another use for it. Eating from the finch sock.

Finally! Sunshine!
So nice to see the sun after so many gray dreary cold days.

Wish I could have had a mourning dove join then so I could show all 3 kinds of dove I've had at my home in one photo but this was sweet too.

Time For A Nap
I get sleepy just looking at this one.

There is just something about doves......
