"To me the Fox Sparrow stands out as the singer of joy. Many birds are of this kind, but few are to such a degree as this inhabitant of the stunted woodlands of the North. The musical construction indicates it, for instance the dancing rhythm, the major keys, and the speed with which it fairly shoots through the central phrase. But deeper than these are certain qualities in his physical being and character, which make for happiness: his robustness and virility, his excessive activity in all his waking hours."
William Brewster (1883)

This red bellied woodpecker seemed to like staying in the canopy of the pine while watching the other birds in and out of the feeder. Or maybe he was just waiting for the right time to bomb the feeder for maximum effect.
Busy weekend, so will try to catch up on everyone's photostreams in the next day or so.
I was focused on the cardinal. Yet, off to the side, there was another beauty! Photo-bombing, I guess! Both were saying to me, "Please fill our bird food dish!"
I am guessing the little guy on the left is a Florida Flycatcher. But, I am not for certain!
I needed a zoom lens but I am usually working on macro on Sunday, so I had to go with with I had!!!
I saw two bluebirds on the ground fighting, so I quickly moved my camera and tripod across the road to get closer to the action. The video features, which I was trying out that day, came in handy to catch the action.
At first, I thought the tussle was between a paired male and a female having a disagreement. However, after watching the video I saw it was two females, likely having a territorial dispute. A male joins in and a second male does a couple of flybys before the group disengages and flies off. I sure wish I caught more of the mêlée as it was already going on for a few seconds before I even noticed it happening and could get into a spot to record it.
This video is slowed down to 40% of normal and zoomed in a bit to give a front row view. No audio as it would be all distorted due to the speed change.

This Antarctic Tern creates a splash as it lifts off after dipping down to procure a food item. This timeless scene unfolded at Grytviken, the site of a former whaling station on South Georgia Island in the South Atlantic Ocean.
This image features a nuthatch clinging to the side of a tree trunk, with its body angled downward. Nuthatches are skilled climbers, often seen creeping headfirst down tree trunks, a unique behavior among birds.They forage for insects, seeds, and nuts in tree bark crevices, using their sharp beaks to pry food out. Nuthatches are territorial, particularly during the breeding season, and will defend their area vigorously.
They use a variety of calls and postures to communicate with intruders or rivals.
