Our Winter Resident birds seem unfazed by all the recent snows. Here's a female Eastern Bluebird, keeping a close eye on her stock of Privet Berry snacks.





And here are two male Eastern Bluebirds, one on a Tulip Poplar branch, the other in the midst of some snow-capped Sycamore tree seed pods.







Perhaps the bluebirds should have been watching this bird. It's a Nuthatch, checking out a Bluebird nesting box!





Yellow-Rumped Warblers are our most common winter warbler here in East Tennessee. Here are a few wintry poses...






And one pose of a Phoebe on his rather snowy perch.





Mockingbirds keep close to their berry thickets these days.





And are very aggressive in defending their winter food!





Hope you enjoyed these little glimpses of some common winter birds. Thanks so much for any comments & critique!

Nice bird pics, like the fighting mocking birds.

I'll add my congratulations too. The biggest difference Tony is there's less money since Grandma thinks the grand Kids(#6 will join us in May/June) loves to spend on the grand kids

Thanks Patrick. I can certainly see that happening in our case, too.
