Birds in Trees, Birds on Feeder

Years ago, I went on a guided nature walk in Huntley Meadows. It was late winter, so the colors of the warmer seasons were not there to delight us. Our guide told us to look up at the trees in the winter. With the leaves gone, we could easily see birds and squirrels, and also the buds of leaves that would be coming out in spring.

I have remembered that, and found that bare trees can look especially nice at sunrise or sunset.


These pictures were not taken on the same day, but I took them both while I was walking Charlie. I think it’s the same tree.


The Birdfy camera continues to take automatic pictures of birds. Here we see a junco.
