This female Red-winged Blackbird was busy moving between the cattails in the morning sunlight. Seen in the Hendrie Valley Sanctuary, part of the Royal Botanical Gardens in Burlington, Ontario.

Bullfinch - Pyrrhula Pyrrhula (F)
The Eurasian bullfinch, common bullfinch or bullfinch (Pyrrhula pyrrhula) is a small passerine bird in the finch family, Fringillidae. In Anglophone Europe it is known simply as bullfinch, as it is the original bird to bear the name bullfinch.
The bullfinch is a bulky bull-headed bird. The upper parts are grey; the flight feathers and short thick bill are black; as are the cap and face in adults (they are greyish-brown in juveniles), and the white rump and wing bars are striking in flight. The adult male has red underparts, but females and young birds have grey-buff underparts. It moults between July and October, but males do not have the duller autumn plumage that is typical of some other finches. The song of this unobtrusive bird contains fluted whistles, and is often described as 'mournful'.
This bird breeds across Europe and temperate Asia. It is mainly resident, but many northern birds migrate further south in the winter. Mixed woodland with some conifers is favoured for breeding, including parkland and gardens.
This species does not form large flocks outside the breeding season, and is usually seen as a pair or family group.
The food is mainly seeds and buds of fruit trees, which can make it a pest in orchards: in England for centuries every parish paid a bounty for every bullfinch killed. Ash and hawthorn are favoured in autumn and early winter. If wild bird cover is planted for it, kale, quinoa and millet are preferred, next to tall hedges or woodland.

Merry Christmas to all of you wonderful people :o)
Todo animal tiene su cometido en la cadena de la vida, unos tan claramente como los limpiadores de carroña evitando la proliferación de enfermedades como es el caso del buitre tachado de macabro pero enormemente beneficioso para el campo
Precioso, inquieto y escurridizo Pajarillo, es una de las pequeñas aves más bonitas y simpáticas de nuestros bosques.
Su alimentación básicamente se compone principalmente de insectos, larvas y algunas bayas silvestres

A first for me and I was so happy just to get the chance to see this beautiful bird. Not a lot of light today so hopefully I get another chance to see it again.
No siempre se posan en el lugar ideal, este Aguila Culebrera la he fotografiado a contraluz en un poste del tendido eléctrico que ha usado como posadero para descansar de un largo viaje que ha hecho desde África.
Se alimenta preferiblemente de serpientes incluso de otras aves pequeñas, roedores e insectos
Hazel ( quiet purple haze ) said she would like to see my previous robin photo cropped in more, so here it is :))

Stonechat (juvenile)
0955.01.08.2023
The stonechats that I have photographed had two broods. This full frame image is one from the second brood. The bird is trying to maintain purchase on the bramble perch because of the wind. There were 4 successful fledglings for the first brood and 3 for the second. As far as I can make out there were 4 other territories along the 1000m long hillside which resulted in failure or abandonment.
