Dark Eyed Junco
The Dark Eyed Junco always brings a bit of color and life to our winter trees. Thanks Juncos!

With barely room for both claws to get a good hold an American Kestrel perches on the top a branch.
A job well done
The other day I saw a yellow flash land in a nice cedar tree. Thinking it was an unusual insect I quickly went over to get a look. Alas, it was not a new insect but a Honey Bee and to say this one was covered in pollen might be an understatement. This little bee could hard fly with the load they had acquired. After a few minutes of rest they slowly lifted off and headed back to the hive. A job well done.
