When there were two male pine grosbeaks (Pinicola enucleator) around the feeder, this one spent some time perched on top of another nearby feeder, and occasionally 'shuffled' his feet in the snow. Might this be a territorial or defensive display?
I had to go higher and higher to find virgin snow. I hate it when the snow is all tracked up by humans, but I sure love critter tracks. Stay tuned for the pine marten pic. I waited an hour for him to come out.

I hope to get some winter shots of these bright yellow birds that live high in our pines year-round & have over-wintering cousins from farther North spend the cold months here. male pine warbler, North Georgia (cropped only)
It's interesting to spend time with the different species of birds in the yard and see the differences in their behavior. While our Brown-headed nuthatches are friendly and talkative to me when they come to the feeder, and the Tufted titmice pretty much ignore me, the Pine warblers are somewhere in between - they clearly don't care that I'm standing only a few feet away, but they quietly watch me while they're eating at the feeder. Only in the past few days have a couple of them began to chirp back when I whistle at them.
