Sax Zim Bog. MN. Four years ago they were coming to feeders this same week in early February. This year they were not. This small group was foraging on the road for grit. They made for much more challenging photography subjects this trip.

As the winds whip and the snow blows I have been watching my backyard very diligently hoping the weather would blow something in. Well I was not disappointed! A first in my backyard, a small group of redpolls were eating at my feeders, and then sheltering themselves in my cedars. :)
Wikipedia: The common flameback (Dinopium javanense), also referred to as the common goldenback, is a small (28–30 cm), three-toed woodpecker in the family Picidae, found throughout South and Southeast Asia. There are six subspecies currently recognized.
As shy and secretive birds, common flamebacks are unlikely to be found in urban areas. They live in a variety of habitats, ranging from moist open forests, to scrubs, and mangroves. Although they generally enjoy lowlands, they can reach altitudes of 1700m above sea level in India and in those cases prefer living in pine forests.
Their distribution ranges across Southeast Asia, from the Western Ghats in India to the Indochinese peninsula and several of the Greater Sunda Islands.

Female from this summer that came in amazingly close in the setting sun. This bird should've been further north breeding, but stayed for a while at Shoreline's famous lake. Wasn't even the best sighting of the day,
Female.
Species: Sympetrum striolatum.
One of the most abundant European dragonflies, the male common darter is typically a vivid red colour and the female turns from a yellow colour to a deep chocolate brown. The common darter can be found in a wide variety of wetland habitats, but generally prefer to breed on still waters such as ponds and lakes. Info: The Wildlife Trusts.
Many thanks to people who view or comment on my photos.
I don't know much about this plant, but I do know that I was impressed with its tall and yellow/orange flower...
A tall wildflower growing by the lakeshore.
Next time I won't let this bird escape...I will try harder and harder until I get the photo with a Common Redstart that will satisfy me.

The Common Raven is an acrobatic flier, often doing rolls and somersaults in the air. One bird was seen flying upside down for more than a half-mile. Young birds are fond of playing games with sticks, repeatedly dropping them, then diving to catch them in midair.
The pond/common slider (Trachemys scripta) is a species of common, medium-sized, semiaquatic turtle. Hatchling and juvenile pond sliders have a greenish upper shell (carapace), yellow bottom shell (plastron), and green and yellow stripes and markings on their skin. These patterns and colors in the skin and shell fade with age until the carapace is a muted olive green to orange brown or brown and the plastron is a dull yellow or darker.

Not ideal, with that twig in the foreground, but at least I got focus on it before it flew off. My first viewing of a common yellowthroat.
The Common Raven is the largest songbird in the world, and the individual in this image is vocalizing at a location along the Ingraham Trail (highway) that runs east of Yellowknife, the capital city of the Northwest Territories of Canada. Thanks to its size and resourcefulness, this species does very well even in the Arctic in wintertime. (It has a circumpolar distribution and is also found year-round in Greenland and northern Eurasia.). The Common Raven is the territorial bird of Yukon Territory, to the west of the NWT in the northern part of Canada.
