The titmice

There are bits to eat where we can't see them, but the little bright-eyed titmice find the bits. Charmers.

Downstairs

We've got a nice flock of seed-hunting white throated sparrows.

The juncos are also working the lawn.

Multiples in camera, fun time

Hermits still hanging around.

I watched starlings eating sliced turkey on Broadway, but didn't have camera in hand, alas.

Hermy and the robins

Still in town, a few hermit thrush

Hooray for berries

We've got a flock of robins in our garden, probably from up north now heading south and a huge congregation of white throated sparrows. They'll be here for the winter. The yellow bellied sapsucker is enjoying our trees as usual. On Monday while I was work at work a neighbor found an injured bird on the sidewalk, a woodcock!  Bad eye. She knew what to do, got a box and took bird to Wildbird rescue place. They reported that they have several woodcocks, window crash damage. They hope they can save our injured woodcock. Damaged eyes are bad because woodcocks have to see backwards.

Strolling

Resident mocker very aware that I'm watching. No "talking" at this time.

Lots of hermit thrushes.

Redbelly woodpecker.... will be around all winter.

Didn't expect to see this female finch.

The usual berry lunch

What would the park be without a rat.

Nature's fuzz beauty

Leftovers?

Picking on dropped berries is to be expected.

But this was different. Dove found a hunk of bread and stayed put. No sharing. No concern that I was close by. This was quietly becoming a stuffed dove. Nice leftover.

Happy Thanksgiving. There's a lot to be thankful for.

Off to the other side of the Hudson. Lots to see from moving car, raptors mostly, also one dead deer, alas.  Crow was walking around edge of reservoir now at low level.

Not soaring.  Flying away from crow mob.

On the way home, cloud shaft.
