A recent snow and cold streak with 6 days of sub freezing weather in Portland Oregon has really brought the neighborhoods birds to feeders. The Oregon juncos are the most common of the visitors.

Towhees are also frequent visitors, tho they prefer to stay on the ground most of the time, and are allergic to staying still.

The star of the local show is the Townsend warbler, masked and ready. This is a friendly bird who will often perch within arms length while the feeders are serviced.

Very nice series, applecider. Well done.

Very nice. Same happens here but at about -20C. No warblers, of course.

Little to shoot here so I'm digging into old photos - from Haida Gwaii, May, 2015

Wonderful photo, Jack. I've never seen one of those in the wild.

We don't have any eagles in Hawaii to my knowledge (except rare accidental vagrants). There is a Hawaiian hawk which is only found on the Big Island.
Cheers,

The big thaw has begun here after 6 days of sub zero weather and 200mm of snow.

I've several sugar addicts living around here who have been on life support but may have made it. Here is one Anna's hummingbird. Without feed I'm pretty sure many of them would have died, I just cannot let that happen as I enjoy them too much, so I pay my toll of sugar and they stay.

Nice photo and story. I love hummingbird photos, but, unfortunately, we don't have any hummingbirds in Hawaii

Very nice series. I especially like the second shot.

Who you looking' at?

That's great...the orange eyes make a nice intensity.

A young looking egret having maybe a bad hair day...and a blue heron doing what they do.

Thanks Kodakrome. Those eyes look a little weird.

A technically better thawed hummingbird. The ruby cap has to be in a certain direction in regard to light, so still room for improvement. This one at iso 800 1/6400 w EF600ii.

Enjoying all the photos here, wouldn't mind more of the night herons...

Very good, especially for one out of the freezer.
