Winter at the Reservoir

Only the rosehips are abundant around the reservoir.  

No little birds, but a plenty of waterfowl.

"We are Northern Pintails."

"We are Northern Shovelers."

"I am Great Blue Heron."

Meditation

Early in the morning, a couple of crows were  making a commotion.  Do you know what?  

Red-tailed Hawk:
"The sun has risen.  A nice, clear morning."

Red-tailed Hawk to an American Crow:
"Don't bother me.  I am meditating."

A Warbler for Winter

It has been been cold.  There is one good thing about it.  With the very chilly air, here comes this winter birds.  

"Hi, I am a maleYellow-rumped Warbler (Audubon)."

"I am a female with a less bright yellow chin.  

Both of us like to eat the suet here."

"When the suet dropped on the ground, 

I get to clean-up the chunks."

Cold Months #2

It's been cold, often below the freezing in the morning and only in the 40's during the day.  The food in the woods are almost gone, so many birds stay in town.   The backyard owner is kept busy taking care of the birds.

"I appreciate your seeds. "

I change the sugar water every two weeks for hummingbirds.

"The juice is getting old.  Will you change it?"

"Don't forget to replenish the suet for me, too."
