Thanks everyone! I'll continue with owls, an Eastern Screech Owl, I found sunning itself Sunday morning. Today it was in the same tree and I was stuck at work. I arrived just before dark and it flew to a bare tree, for a minute, then back into the pine tree. I've been very fortunate with the owls this new year! A male American Kestrel Has been very cooperative lately, too.

Hi ISv,
Nice to have someone in CR with such a knowledge of birds (and the books to back it up
The juvy Cardinal is indeed posing like it knows lots of people will look at it in the forum ;D V. nice!
Wiebe.
Wiebe, I afraid you overestimate my knowledge in the birds: I know many birds from Europe (my born place), and practically all residents of Hawaii but the rest of the world (including Mainland USA) are unknown for me (well, there are some that I know but they are sinking in the ocean of unknown species) - with exception for the shore birds (may be
).

We got snow in NC, and it seems there are always more cardinals about when it snows. My neighbor has bird feeders, so these are some shots of birds waiting in a tree for their turns to eat. They were taken about 12:15pm from my window, since they would have flown away if had gone out on the deck. I didn't take time to change to a longer lens. I just used the long end of the 24-105mm STM I got with my 6D2. The detailed ones are cropped, not resized. The three larger ones are 1000 pixels wide, so shown enlarged posted here, at least in my preview.

Very nice Jeremy, especially the owl in its "pine tree context"; but also the kestrel - all fluffed up, with its warm colours

1. House sparrow under the boughs of one of our spruce trees. There was a great horned owl resting in the upper branches and a bevy of sparrows perched nearby, apparently watching it.
2. The owl in question. She had her head turned away from me, so I let out a loud 'hoot' and she cranked her head around and stared at me. Not the best picture but the best one I managed.

Nice shots everyone. I like the cardinals for context of a snowy day. Too bad it's not possible to approach them.
As far as "giving a hoot", I think the owl is, with his expression, saying, "you have zero chance of getting a mate"!
