Backyard and Beyond

Starting out from Brooklyn, an amateur naturalist explores our world.

As John Burroughs said, “The place to observe nature is where you are.”

More Winter Birds

Yes, please!
There was that winter bird count several years ago that tallied only a single Black-capped Chickadee in Kings County, a.k.a. Brooklyn. This winter has been much more chickadee-ee-ee.
White-breasted Nuthatches, too, have been plentiful.
I love the noises they make. A couple of them quietly chipping with each other; a lone making a hell of a chatter for such a little bird.

Another case of clustering, flocking birds on snow-free patches.
The “red belly” glimpsed.
Saw this one after my Winter Woodpeckers post went up.

One response to “More Winter Birds”

  1. I’m partial to juncos’ conversations. For little birds, they have an awful lot to say.
    Nice photos. Thanks for sharing them.
