WINTER BIRDS IN THE FIELD

12/16/2020

0 Comments

 
Winter temperatures have been slow to come this year in Eastern N.C., but they have finally arrived. All the leaves are down and everything now is the grey/brown backdrop of the cold season, Part of what I like this time of year is the way this winter backdrop makes the colors of the birds stand out. Even though bird colors are generally brighter in the spring when it is mating time, the duller glow of winter greatly highlights the blues, yellows, and reds, but also the subtler shades of brown, tan, and rust. The pics below are of our common local species in their winter coats and dresses. Also are a few shots of Fox squirrels which have been seen in excess numbers in the area. Enjoy the pics! And Merry Christmas!
