Female Downy Woodpecker


The birds are everywhere! No not really. But the feeders are certainly heavy with company during the winter. I think there is no better time to see the native birds in Ohio. Suet is a very important diet in winter allowing birds to store more fat and helps give them energy they need to forage.


We always enjoy the birds most during the weekends were we can sit by the window eating breakfast and watch them have theirs. We have been feeding these birds for what would be 6 years this April. And every year we generally see new species. Cardinals are so bright when they visit. There color looks exaggerated in comparison to there plume in summer. But a lot of me wonders if only it occurs that way because there is such and absence of color this time of year, making the cardinal seem more colorful. Either way they are so beautiful. I can't wait to practice with this new camera to get really great shots until then my apologies!
