This Red-tailed Hawk has been hanging out in the trees next to the salt marsh…. looking for his next meal. We used to have a family of them in our yard each summer but their nest blew down a couple of winters ago and they have not rebuilt.
This Red-breasted Merganser was having a lot of success fishing in Pleasant Bay. He’d swim around a bit and then dive under… usually coming back up with a fish!
I love his reddish-orange beak and his “bad-hair” day! Beautiful bird, don’t you think?
These Bluebirds were certainly enjoying a bath in our heated birdbath the other day. They’re even yacking at each other! (Click on blog link for other photos.)
What fun it is to watch them splash around and have a good time! One of them is even standing on the warm heater!
Do you have a heated birdbath for the birds in the winter?
