Female cardinal that came to visit
 

  
A screech owl that was trapped in a garage. That wing display wasn't posed, it is just the way it landed.
We caught and released it. That's my gloved hand holding it in the second picture.

  
A goldfinch on our porch railing and ready for its close-up.
 

    
Female ruby throated hummingbird coming in for a landing.

    
The male also made a safe landing despite some flight path congestion on approach.

    
Another goldfinch that came to our porch.

  
A northern flicker.

A male purple finch

 
A slate-colored variety of the dark-eyed junco

 
A sharp shinned hawk.  We had to hold him to show you his talons.

       
A couple of wild turkeys Nancy and I saw in the back yard of my son's home in NJ. 
I didn't need macro or telephoto lens for these shots.

   
We were walking along a path and spotted this little fellow on a branch about 2 feet off the ground.
He was very still while I took several pictures and was still there half an hour later.
He is a robin fledgeling.

   
   
A little Black-capped Chickadee that visited in December.

   
A flock of Eastern Bluebirds came through in December as well.
They checked out the accommodations we have provided near our house. 
They have moved on but I hope that they will be back in the spring.
For these pictures I tried out a new telephoto lens that I am just learning to use.

Nancy took several pictures of this visitor to our front deck.  A White-breasted nuthatch. 
She used a Nikon 5400 and was shooting in the macro mode.

   
A Yellowbellied Sapsucker (don't you just love that name). 
He didn't seem to mind showing off his wing markings.
