Sapsucker poked a hole in the ice to get a drink, which benefited all the other visiting birds, just like this cardinal.

Although gregarious, the Black-bellied Plover fiercely defends its territory.
The Orange-bellied Euphonia (Euphonia xanthogaster), photographed at La Minga Ecolodge near Cali, Colombia, is a stunning example of the vibrant biodiversity found in the Andean cloud forests. This colorful bird stands out with its radiant orange belly, deep blue-violet back, and a golden-yellow crown, perched delicately on a slender branch. The softly blurred green background adds depth and contrast, enhancing the bird’s striking colors while maintaining a natural harmony with its surroundings.
To capture this image, I used the Canon R5 paired with the RF 100-500mm lens at its full 500mm focal length. The settings included a shutter speed of 1/500 second to freeze the subtle movements of the bird and ISO 800 to balance the dim, diffused forest light while preserving the vibrant tones and details. Photographing this euphonia required patience and a careful eye to time the moment just right. This image reflects not only the technical precision behind the shot but also the serene beauty and fragility of the habitat it represents.

Red-bellied Woodpecker
At best it's a pinkish blush but red-head was already taken.

Melanerpes carolinus
A Red-bellied Woodpecker can stick out its tongue nearly 2 inches past the end of its beak. The tip is barbed and the bird’s spit is sticky, making it easier to snatch prey from deep crevices. Males have longer, wider-tipped tongues than females, possibly allowing a breeding pair to forage in slightly different places on their territory and maximize their use of available food.
La lumière était absente alors ce n'est pas une très belle photo. C'est pour montrer à ceux qui sont dans ce beau coin de pays, qu'ils sont là.

I still have maybe five more of this guy to post as time goes on. A most cooperative bird. First day of classes started out fine, I would say.
Thanks for Viewing.
I have seen one last summer but that was adult during breeding season with bolder black bellies and face. I think this is a non-breeding adult. Seen @BCER.

This is the most common flowerpecker in Malaysia. It will always gives loud calls when it is around the area, attracting attention and the bright orange underparts makes easy detection. Usually moves in pair looking for ripe berries especially in the shrubs of Melastoma malabathricum.

A friend had given me seeds close to 10 years ago... I have two seeds that took and are doing well... still waiting for it to flower!!
Jatropha podagrica is a succulent plant in the family Euphorbiaceae. It is native to the tropical Americas but is grown as an ornamental plant in many parts of the world due to its unusual appearance.
The Buddha belly plant is a poisonous plant. The fruit and sap of the plant are toxic, so be sure to keep the plant away from small children and pets. You can do this by placing it on a windowsill that's high off the ground or in a garden that's reasonably fenced off.
Barrie... your the only person I know that has one... how is yours doing??

Good morning everyone. I'm pleased to present today a series on the Red-bellied Woodpecker (Melanerpes carolinus). Our second most common woodpecker after the Downy and almost as friendly. But it's way more photogenic and hard to pass up an opportunity to photograph one.
Kind of a long series with a total of six photos including the above. Three each of both gender of which the rest can be found in the comment section and my stream. And for those of you not familiar with this woodpecker, please note in the last pic the clearly visible red belly which gives this woodpecker its common name.
Thank you for stopping by...and I hope you're having a truly nice week.

Nice to see them arriving here from their circumpolar breeding locales in the southern Arctic islands. These are adults. The juveniles are stragglers and have been seen here even to November in mild winters. Black-bellied Plovers winter along the Pacific coast from southwest British Columbia to Chile and along the Atlantic from New Jersey to Brazil.

If you use the zoom tool, you will see dozens of smudgy spots. This is not a dusty lens, but Shoreflies that inhabit this environment in the millions - maybe billions. I started to clone them out and gave up.

This female Red-bellied Woodpecker has brought home some lunch to her little ones. Maybe i will get to see the little ones peeking out from home when they get a little bigger. So much to look forward to....Thank you Mother Nature !

This Snowy-bellied Hummingbird was from our October trip to Costa Rica. It is a lot of fun seeing a variety of hummingbirds and Costa Rica has just that. I’m really looking forward to going back next month to see what all we can find.

"When was the last time you spent a quiet moment just doing nothing - just sitting and looking at the sea, or watching the wind blowing the tree limbs, or waves rippling on a pond, a flickering candle or children playing in the park?"
- Ralph Marston
To take this shot, I lay down on my belly on the ice to get a lower perspective. I did not have my tripod with me as it was just too tricky when walking on that slick ice. I would have struggled to find a spot to safely set up the tripod, too. So I did not go for a long exposure on that wave curling onto the shore. I could have done a time lapse exposure and blended the two images. However, once I was lying down and looking at the rhythm of the water, I was drawn into the moment just as it was. I took a few handheld shots and then let the sound, sights and fresh air lure me into a quiet reverie.
Seeing this Yellow-bellied Sapsucker was the Christmas gift I received. It hung out on my log feeder and suet feeder for over 10 minutes...took 77 clicks...just so cool to witness one at 2m for the very first time. It was a scruffy thing...all puffed out...as well it should have been...only 10 Deg F (-12 C). I think that is what drew it in to the feeders.

Right after I got finished with this little photo session, I went back to the den, started watching TV. A few minutes later I feel something crawl onto my arm. Just about jumped out of my seat. Just a silly stick bug.
Yellow-bellied sapsucker, Rondeau Provincial Park, April 19, 2023.
More often heard than seen eat least around our yard.
Sphyrapicus varius
The sapwells made by Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers attract hummingbirds, which also feed off the sap flowing from the tree. In some parts of Canada, Ruby-throated Hummingbirds rely so much on sapwells that they time their spring migration with the arrival of sapsuckers. Other birds as well as bats and porcupines also visit sapsucker sapwells.
