Happy New Year!
I'm always amazed by how many birds are around here in the winter but then I think maybe I can just see them better because there are no leaves on the trees...
Male cardinals are especially outstanding!
A Cedar Waxwing, I think.
This hawk has been spending its days perched at the pond's edge. (S)he's catching something.
It's a Red-shouldered Hawk. Here's another picture.
