Our Predator of the day was a swift Cooper's Hawk that found a chubby sparrow to use as a snack. I was at the computer and her the wings flapping just in time to look up and see the hawk grab the sparrow in mid-flight and head up into the tree. As I got my camera the Hawk decided to find a more stable place to use as it's table. The first picture is after he had devoured the sparrow and was then inspecting a nest in the same tree. You have to look carefully to see the hawk and the nest.
Winter or not this Northern Cardinal found the comfort of the feeder away from the wind to chow down before bedtime.
This beautiful Nuthatch appeared at the feeder and posed for this picture.
Pesky as the squirrels are, they are in-genius in finding ways to get to nuts. This one would leap about six feet from a fence post to land on the baffle and grab the hanging nut holder to keep from falling to the ground. Then it did all kinds of contortions to feed from the nut holder.
