Dark-eyed Juncos are birds that we generally only see in the winter. This is their idea of flying south. The rest of the year they roam as far north as Canada’s tree line. When they run out of trees they stop flying north. JK

This juvenile Red-tailed Hawk was sitting on a telephone wire during the snowstorm we had three days ago. Red-tails don’t get red tails till they become adults. I’d like to thank my friends Eric from Your Connection To Nature, Janine from Sweetbriar, and Sue from Four Harbors Audubon Society for helping me identify this guy. That tail was throwing me. JK

This male Downy Woodpecker is doing the woodpecker thing. At this angle you can see the red patch at the back of his head. The female lacks this ornamentation. JK
