I enjoy photographing wildlife visitors to our feeders, especially when there is snow in the air! These are some of the birds that brighten our winter days on a regular basis.

These are all exquisite, Nick. Thank you for sharing, they put a smile on my face.
And thank you for visiting and taking the time to comment! Glad you enjoyed my attempt to add a little spice to a cold and gray winter day.
You succeeded beautifully, Nick! 🙂
What a great variety you have. You started with the little cutie who has been eating out of my hand. I’ve thought about putting together a selection of birds that visit our feeders/yard. So far I haven’t found that round-to-it. Great to see your visitors, but the ones we never see and the ones we share.
Looking back at my posts over the years, these “feeder” collections tend to be published in mid January….when an hour at the feeders yields more rewards than a week afield in bitter cold, gray skies and deep snow. Clean your windows, toss some feed around, brew a hot drink, grab the camera …and start shooting. 🙂
This is only my 3rd winter here and the variety we’re seeing is blowing me away. The swarm of siskins is utterly amazing. They swoop in seemingly in the hundreds. I can see them with the sun glinting on the swarm as they descend from their route through the alder trees. It’s utterly amazing to watch.
This has been a treat for me and I am particularly pleased to see the cardinal – we do not have such a brightly coloured bird here – which looks very handsome against the snow.
Nice photos of birds. We have most of these birds where I live. It proves your do not have to go far to see wildlife. Just fill up your bird feeder and watch.
