January 2018 birds

[hazelrunmama]

Well, I'm into 2018 images now.  I finished January and February and March is almost done.  Thought I'd share some of the images I've finished.

It was a big redpoll year--they far outnumbered the goldfinches and siskins, but we had a good mix of winter finches in :


Lots of juncos, too:


And the doves were thick.  They love sunning along the south exposure on the garage:

Some more winter finches--a handsome pine siskin male, front and back, and an American goldfinch:

An American tree sparrow takes flight from under the dogwood:


The Blue jays were still pretty scarce this year, but up from the previous year--we had a couple dozen patrolling this year:


A Black-capped chickadee hunkers down in the snowy dogwood:

And finally, a little red--a Common redpoll, a Northern cardinal, and a Red-bellied woodpecker lady:

Please Hazel send me some of those beautiful redpolls.

Love all your pictures, especially the blue jay, he posed so beautifully

It looks like this year it's going to be siskins instead of redpolls, l2b--but I'll probably be able to send  you a few dozen siskins!  LOL

The blue jays are really hard to get pics of, so I was happy one of them, at least, decided to sit still for a while in a spot with enough light to get a few shots.
