A Black-Capped Chickadee perches “mid-air” on the end of a tiny branch with a delicate blue sky for the background. Her beak is catching the bright late morning sun coming over her right shoulder, emphasizing it’s how neat it is.

A Northern Cardinal perches amongst the boughs of a Cedar tree on a very cold January afternoon. His body is in the full sunlight, but his head is shaded by the branches above. He appears to be keen on presenting a winning look to those of us behind the camera.

The Cardinal’s “got it made in the shade” and appears to want us to know it.

A Mallard Duck stands in the shallow, green, reedy water near the muddy flatland river’s bank. She appears very much at ease, having a clear view of her ducklings safely playing not far away, and seems to be really enjoying the season.

Thinking of another time of year - the Mallard stands in green shallows.

Thank you Fright. 🙏🏼

Thanks Amy - It is grand to see creatures full of vim and purpose, especially when they’re pursuing out of the norm activities. 🙏🏼

Thank you John - I agree that it surely conveys velocity. 🙂🙏🏼

Thank you Rob - this one’s certainly on the run. 🙂🙏🏼

A Blue Jay is caught mid stride, trotting toward us at a seemingly breakneck speed through the light covering of snow on a bright day in early January.

The Blue Jay opts for terrestrial locomotion.

Thank you Fright. I know that it’s unusual but I’ll truly miss winter. 🙏🏼

Thank you Carol. I am blessed with many lovely bird neighbours. 🙏🏼

Thank you Rob - luckily the birds keep coming! 🙏🏼

An American Goldfinch perches daintily amidst tiny branches, on a snowy day in January.

Nice capture Erin - I couldn’t agree more with you on your statement, “It’s so nice when birds pause to let you admire them.” I couldn’t put it better. 🫶🏼🙏🏼

Thank you Fright - and thanks for reposting. 🙏🏼

A Black-Capped Chickadee perching in a Cedar tree calls out her sweet little song mid February, mid afternoon. (Again I find the filtered sunlight here flatters our subject handsomely, and she’s looking her best in her so carefully groomed for the season plumage.)

The Chickadee’s back and singing.
