I think this is a juvenile female cardinal, judging from the color of the bill and from her childlike curiosity, hanging around the feeder longer than usual and looking around with intense interest and not a whole lot of nervousness as is evident in more mature birds. A beautiful trusting little girl!

Baby Screech-owl Screech-owls are restricted to the Americas. Some species formerly placed with them are nowadays considered more distinct. Screech-owls hunt from perches in semi-open landscapes. They prefer areas which contain old trees with hollows; these are home to their prey which includes insects, reptiles, small mammals such as bats and mice and other small birds. Screech-owls have a good sense of hearing which helps them locate their prey in any habitat. They also possess well-developed raptorial claws and a curved bill, both of which are used for tearing their prey into pieces small enough to swallow easily. They usually carry their prey back to their nests, presumably to guard against the chance of losing their meal to a larger raptor.

“SPOTTED TOWHEE” Pictured is a male Towhee The Towhee is familiar bird of scrubby habitats. It is widespread and abundant, increasing in some areas, but Island forms vulnerable. Medium-sized songbird. / Head, back, wings, and tail dark (black in male, female paler). / Chest and belly white. / Sides and flanks rufous. / White spots on wings and back. / Size: 17-21 cm (7-8 in) / Weight: 33-49 g (1.16-1.73 ounces) / Sex Differences Male has black hood, back, wings, and tail. Female is paler where the male is black, ranging from brownish to gray-brown to blackish. Watch a Spotted Towhee feeding on the ground; you’ll probably observe its two-footed, backwards-scratching hop. This “double-scratching” is used by a number of towhee and sparrow species to unearth the seeds and small invertebrates they feed on. One Spotted Towhee with an unusable, injured foot was observed hopping and scratching with one foot.

This little finch found a place of safety on the bannister under my front porch during a chilly, rainy day. In fact, if you View Larger, you can detect a few raindrops on her tiny noggin. With her feathers all fluffed up, she looked cute and cozy and a bit plump so I called her Roly Poly. Maybe, like many of us, she’s thinking, “Got to shed some of that extra baggage in the upcoming New Year.” Oh, and one more thing, don’t you just love those tiny talons peeking out from her feathers? Looks like she’s just had a pedicure and she’s showing off her dainty toes!

It’s too cold to take pictures today so I’m going through some old shots; came across this one, a close cousin to one I posted months ago, but I couldn’t resist sharing Mr. Beautiful with everyone in this different pose.

This male Eastern bluebird delivers the grub to the babies in the nesting box in a far different fashion from the way the female operates. She dives into the opening, feeds the chicks, removes debris and waste, and exits in a flash. Her mate, on the other hand, lands on whatever nearby perch he can find, shows off the cricket, caterpillar, grub worm, or grasshopper he just succeeded in hunting down, looks intently in my direction, turns this way and that, and then delivers the goods to the babies. Afterwards, he often goes back to his perch, giving me a view of his beautiful self from every possible angle. Finally, he tires of all the posturing and takes off in search of yet more prey for the hungry nestlings. I think he’s got lots of personality and I love watching his antics.

Female Common Blue Butterfly – Polyommatus icarus. Devon, UK Canon 50D / Canon 300mm F4 IS plus 1.4 x Extender and Canon Extension Tube EF 25 II / 1/200 / F8 / ISO 400 / Tripod / AV Mode, Evaluative Metering dialed to -2/3 / Fill Flash -3 Text adapted from – http://www.rspb.org.uk/wildlife/wildlifegarden/atoz/c/commonbluebutterfly.asp Male common blues have pale violet-blue upper wings with grey-beige undersides. However, females vary from those with predominantly brown upper wings and orange crescents, usually more common in the south, to those with more blue, found farther north and west. This butterfly is common throughout the UK. There are often two broods, with eggs laid in June, then August and September. Common blue caterpillars hibernate and pupate in April and May giving rise to adults in May and June. The caterpillars are short, green and furry. They feed on the underside of young leaves, leaving the upper leaf epidermis intact. This creates silvery blotches on the leaves that are easy to spot. The caterpillars secrete nutrient-containing substances that attract ants. In turn, the ants protect the caterpillar from predators. Ants probably tend the chrysalis too. Adults drink nectar from flat-headed flowers. Caterpillars eat wild, leguminous plants such as bird’s-foot trefoil, rest harrow and white clover. Adults can bee seen between May and September, sometimes October in warm years. Caterpillars are present throughout the year except May and late July-early August. These butterflies are commonly seen feeding on a variety of flat-headed flowers, basking in the sunshine. Caterpillars on young, leguminous plants such as white clover. Also in grassland, grassy dunes, meadows, woodland clearings, heaths.

The visibility was pretty poor during the dive (you’ll notice a little sandstorm in the background if you view the image large), but these sad guys were fairly cooperative today. :-) / / Schooling Threadfin Pearl Perches at Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia Equipment: CANON 5D, SIGMA 15mm f2.8 EX DG, IKELITE Housing, 2x IKELITE DS125 Strobes Image was featured in Underwater & Sealife and IPA -International Photographers Alliance More ‘Underwater Rush Hours’: / © aabz-imaging / ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

a lovely female cardinal sits in a pine tree in my back yard. She seems to be daydreaming, possibly about the coming spring. I so love the lady cardinals in winter, they take on a most lovely coloration that is not present in the summer time. The biggest change, IMO, is the beak. During the summer, it is a muddy brown color, but come winter, she dons the bright orange lipstick. /
