Ms. Cardinal seemed to enjoy hiding out in the vines and pods of the wisteria branches. You may remember I posted the wisteria pods on Monday with a beautiful blue sky behind them (here). What a difference a day makes. I took this Tuesday after a couple of inches of new snow.
Doesn't he look plump!
Sing along with me now........two Mourning Doves
and a Hawk in an oak tree. They were different oak trees and the doves were hiding when the hawk was out.
I posted a hawk shot last week that was also too far away and this is another hawk shot taken from too long a distance and through sliding glass doors. But, this hawk was in my yard, MY YARD I tell you. Isn't nature wonderful!!

I like your captures for Camera Critters...not sure if I will get one up for CC. I had forgotten till I seen your post.
ReplyDeleteI bet you are looking forward to seeing your grandbaby again! Give Lily a hug from this soon to be grandma.
Carletta: Neat tree capture of the birds, I will enater latter today.
ReplyDeleteI do LOVE your critters... and that you are able to get such GREAT clear shots of them! We had the 5 dear take a trek through our yard and our woods the other morning... and I tried sO hard to get a clear shot of them -- but it just was NOT happening! You have the PERFECT little spot!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots Carletta. That's the way I like to see snow .... on a computer screen. :)
ReplyDeleteCarletta,

Lovely winter bird shots! How lucky that you never had to leave your own yard!
ReplyDeleteBirds in my yard drive the dog nuts. Loved the pictures. Won't show them to the dog.
ReplyDeleteHa! Two mourning doves! Good one, Carletta.
ReplyDeleteYou do have some of the most beautful natural wildlife captures.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot and yup he is one plump critter
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays
There must be a bird feeder just outside the frame of the photo!
ReplyDeleteBirds against the white snow make for such good pictures. Those Hawks are so sneaky. They fly in so fast, grab a bird, and are gone in an instant.
ReplyDeleteB.
I am sure the Hawk wanted to check out those plump Doves. I just love Cardinals--we don't have them out here and I have never seen one in real life. Oh well!! MB
ReplyDeleteIt does look fat and so think it wont feel cold. ;)
ReplyDeleteSplendid post with beloved and marvellous creatures!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
Lovely CC pictures, as usual. With the snow it's hard for the remaining birds.
ReplyDeleteI always wonder why all the birds don't head south for the winter...but glad to see those that stay have people like you tending to them a bit.
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely pictures with the snow on the branches.
ReplyDeleteI have had a hawk here everyday and it always comes when I have my computer glasses on and can't see it very well...We are getting snow too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful bird photos. Love the cardinal one - we don't have them here so what a treat to see yours.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm just purely, rottenly, extremely jealous of the hawk. I SO want a hawk of my own and lately we have been very bird poor...If I had a feeder, I might have some company but a feeder would require me to leave the house so... the price of my disability. The cardinal and dove pictures are lovely too. Have to admit that I love the way doves look but I can't stand the sound they make. No idea why. Happy holidays!
ReplyDeleteI think they are all plump this time of year. Great pics and a great post!
ReplyDeleteDoves are all fluffed up to stay warm.
