Three Red-winged blackbirds have been lingering around my yard after their large flock dropped in and soon departed. Here is one of them in my Canadian, or eastern hemlock tree.

Blue Ridge Parkway. North Carolina.
5/12/2016.
I really enjoyed my day driving along the Parkway. I hope to explore more areas there next spring.
Thanks to my friend David Cree for the conifer ID.
The babies of the pinecone world ... only about an inch long ! I love them... they're soooo cute !
"The eastern hemlock grows well in shade and is very long lived, with the oldest recorded specimen being at least 554 years old.The tree generally reaches heights of about 31 meters (100 feet), but exceptional trees have been recorded up to 53 metres (173 feet)."
Of course, I thought I was shooting the pine cone; the needles are so much more interesting, I think!
I usually see the Brown thrasher on the ground or on or near the feeder, so it was nice I got the shot of him this foggy morning when he was perched in the Canadian hemlock tree.

As explained in this article, this male cardinal is molting. He will regrow his feathers soon.

Eastern hemlock is a straight-trunked, gracefully pyramidal tree with long, pendulous limbs and short-needled, feathery branches. Evergreen needles are dark-green with silvery undersides.Evergreen tree with conical crown of long, slender, horizontal branches often drooping down to the ground, and a slender, curved, and drooping leader. Height is usually 40-70 ft., but can reach 100 ft. or more.
The bark was once a commercial source of tannin in the production of leather. Pioneers made tea from leafy twigs and brooms from the branches. A graceful shade tree and ornamental, it can also be trimmed into hedges.

Shot a few minutes ago from my back door. It's still coming down and will for several more hours. There are already reports of numerous accidents due to icy roads. No matter how good and safe a driver you are, you just cannot fight ice. So stay home, please.
Zoe Bear and I are doing okay health wise, all things considered.

I don’t know why this Brown thrasher had his beak open. The photos were shot at 10:15 in the morning, and it wasn’t all that hot.

Catbirds here are usually heard but not seen, so it was nice to notice this juvenile while it was preening in one of my Canadian hemlock trees in September.

Tsuga canadensis (Species) 2019 photo - Common Name: Canadian Hemlock, Size at 10 years: 50ft., Flat sprays of lacy foliage, USDA Hardiness Zone 3, In Garden Bed HR-U for 5.8 YEARS (HLG). Planted in 2014.
Missouri Botanical Garden: Tsuga canadensis, commonly called Canadian hemlock or eastern hemlock, is a dense, pyramidal conifer of the pine family that is native to moist woods, moist slopes, rocky hillsides/ridges, wooded ravines, and stream valleys from eastern Canada south to Maine and Wisconsin and further south in the Appalachian Mountains to Georgia and Alabama. It grows to 40-75’ tall in the wild. This species is noted for having the smallest needles and cones in the genus. Flat sprays of lacy evergreen foliage give this tree a graceful form. Short dark green needles (to 9/16" long) with two white bands beneath are arranged in two opposite rows. Needles are attached to twigs by slender stalks. Small, pendant, short-stalked, seed-bearing cones (to 3/4" long) are tan-brown. Lower branches often dip toward the ground. Thick and ridged bark on mature trees is red-brown to gray-brown. State tree of Pennsylvania. No part of this tree is poisonous. The poisonous hemlocks (Circuta maculata and Conium maculatum) are herbaceous perennials in the parsley family.

The (unripe?) cones of a Tsuga species, I'm thinking Eastern Hemlock (T. canadensis), seen in Box Wood, Walkern, Hertfordshire, on 27 August 2014.
To see my collections, go here.
Rather unusual habitat for a hemlock.
The white stripes on the undersides of the needles are distinctive.
