Red-Tailed Hawk

We've been trying to get a picture of this one for awhile but have never been in the right place at the right time. Today I was in sort of the right place and the right time.

Appears to be a juvenile Red-Tailed Hawk. [skip]

Three Peckers, Three Minutes

These are from this morning. As the snow melts, more and more layers of birdseed, thrown out during the snow storms that have left us snow on the ground since December 24th, become exposed. The birds are loving it.

These woodpeckers were all at the feeder this morning, taking shifts, over for three or four minutes.

Pretty Sure this is a male Hairy Woodpecker but it is different from the other one above. [skip]
