Always entertaining and right behind the chick-a-dees in line for a meal.
Red-bellied Woodpecker
Look what arrived at the feeder today! In 20 years I have not seen on here on the farm until today. The ice storm seems to have had made shy birds hungry enough to risk the feeders. Put out some food, the critters appreciate it!

Rough-legged Hawk
So hard to see in the fall leaves. I missed this one and only saw it when it moved to another perch a little further from me. If it didn’t move, I would have passed right by it. The name refers to it’s feathered legs right to it’s toes, the only others that also have feathered legs are the Golden Eagle and Ferruginous Hawk.
