  1. Some photos of Purple Pipers at Jones Beach, NY, last Saturday (Feb. 28).

    Unusually there were dozens if not more of these shorebirds present, and not only on their favored rocky habitats, but running around on the beach in multitudes with Sanderlings and Dunlins. I suspect the intense cold and snow storms we've had over the past two months affected their food supply on the jetties, leading them to forage with their cousins. These birds nest in the Arctic tundra and overwinter in our middle latitudes. In a sense, by favoring the expansion of the polar vortex, climate change was bringing the Arctic conditions they migrate away from right to them.

  6. Red-breasted Nuthatches are back. They've been around my place sporadically, late in the fall and after our major recent snowfalls. These forest birds cache, and remember the location of, thousands of seeds for the winter. I suspect their stashes and general food supply is running low in nearby woody areas, with all this snow, so they're hitting the feeders in adjacent neighborhoods. These little birds (as with other smaller birds like Chickadees) are particularly bold and will take seeds from your hand.

  16. Another gentle, feel-good winter read 🐦❄️

    Feeding birds in winter isn’t just a lifeline for them — it’s good for us, too.

    Brighter days, calmer minds, real connection to nature (and even citizen science!).

  26. ❄️ A Blue Tit in the middle of falling snow.
    So tiny. So brave. So full of life. 🐦
    Did it visit your feeder this winter?

  27. Through the Kitchen Window: Snow, Sassafras, and a Junco

    A quiet February snowstorm brought a Dark-eyed Junco to the Sassafras tree outside my kitchen window. I photographed the moment through the glass, and while it took me a while to edit and post these, I’m finally sharing a few frames from that peaceful winter morning.

  28. Eastern Bluebird in the Snow at Kingston Mill Historic District

    An Eastern Bluebird (Sialia sialis) perched gracefully in the snow near Old Lincoln Highway at the Kingston Mill Historic District, Kingston, South Brunswick.

  29. "Winter Song" is my new #painting about those bright winter days of lemon and pink skies, when the air is clear and cold, and the #birdsong rings louder than ever.

    As well as the little robin belting out his sweet song, I've included other winter birds: fieldfare, waxwing, redwing, and (my favourites) starlings.

    Thanks for looking. 🙏

  31. Driving the country roads north of Guelph Ontario Canada, I was thrilled to spot the arctic #SnowBuntings.The #Snowflake was taking a walk in the lovely dried #wildflowers at the edge of the field. The #arctic bird is just beautiful and blends in well with the brown wildflowers against the white snow.
