Common Species for Winter

For an hour or two this morning I watched and shot pictures at a local bird feeding area. As my hunch proved, there were no unusual bird species at the feeders. But, the normal hungry winter birds were present in good numbers.

Interestingly, the birds seemed to feast in waves and then go still. That cycle repeated several times. I do not have an explanation for their actions.

I shot some photos as I watched the avian behavior. As I mentioned earlier, there were no uncommon species. So, you will see only some of our ordinary winter birds.

(Common or not, the birds still made for nice pictures. And one thing I have learned in life is to not take things for granted. Birds common today may be uncommon or absent in the future. Enjoy them when you can. I did!)
