The most noticeable characteristics of the American red squirrel are the tail and the eye ring. The tree squirrel's tail is bushy and dark red with hints of a white outline. The eye ring is a thick, white circle around the rodent's black eyes. American red squirrels are about 12 inches and have grayish, red, or rust-colored fur with a white belly. Sometimes a black stripe can be seen on the sides.

The American white pelican (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos) is a large aquatic soaring bird from the order Pelecaniformes. It breeds in interior North America, moving south and to the coasts, as far as Central America and South America, in winter. The German naturalist Johann Friedrich Gmelin described the American white pelican in 1789. The scientific name means "red-billed pelican", from the Latin term for a pelican, Pelecanus, and erythrorhynchos, derived from the Ancient Greek words erythros (ἐρυθρός, "red") + rhynchos (ῥύγχος, "bill").
Hello Everyone,
Don't you just love the "knob" on the left one's bill? That's this bird's form of breeding plumage.

Winter is the time to go looking for American Tree Sparrows. Small flocks converge on snow-swept fields and bird feeders, where they feast on seeds on the ground. Here their bicolored bill and central breast spot help them stand out from other sparrows. Despite their name, you'll probably find them foraging on the ground rather than feeding in trees.
If you look closely in the frogs eye, you can see the silhouettes of my friends Karen and Steve, as well as myself. Wildwood Park, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
I think this is the female, she is not as dark as the male. Not 100% sure. They have youngs now and they are teaching them how to feed themselves.

An unmistakable bird of the Caribbean and nothern South American coast, this species is found in saline lagoons where it often walks with its head under water as it feeds on acquatic invertebrates. Santuario de Fauna y Flora Los Flamencos, Camarones, Colombia
I'm a little confused with the bit of green around the eye. Is this a female or a young male? Taken in Calgary, Alberta. Canon R5
Thank you for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.
Both parents incubate, taking turns to go out to forage so that the eggs are constantly guarded. Parents switch duty every other day during incubation. Eggs left unattended are rapidly eaten by California gulls.
American beech is a distinctive and elegant forest tree in Kentucky and throughout eastern North America. In early spring new leaves emerge from buds as feathery tassels. Handsome foliage develops a golden bronze color in the fall. American beech's graceful, spreading form is superior to other beeches and is attractive throughout the year. Winter, however, emphasizes this tree's other notable attributes - its long, thin, pointed, brown leaf buds and its smooth, thin, light gray, "wrinkled" bark that resembles an elephant's hide. American beech bark is nearly white and is much paler than European beech. Like oak, beech often holds on to its bottom leaves throughout winter.
I did in fact get shots of other birds while waiting for action from the owls over the weekend. This sparrow was particularly cooperative. It didn't seem overly windy, but apparently there was enough of a breeze to give him a crest. Lincoln County, Missouri
Papilio polyxenes, the black swallowtail, American swallowtail or parsnip swallowtail, is a butterfly found throughout much of North America. My garden in Fairfield Harbour, NC
