Whistler of the north! I love their song. I still have a few lingering here but they'll soon migrate on.

I cannot identify your plant with red berries but you might post the picture on the Name That Plant Forum, they can identify most anything... :-) Good luck

I see White-throats every winter here in SE Ma, although they usually stay near brush. Luckily I have lots of brush in my yard and I put feeders near by. The nyjer spillover is a draw for lots of sparrows, including white-throats. I've been fussing the last few days over these two birds which I think are probably juvenile White-throated Sparrows, but I'm not quite sure about the second one. The first one has the beginnings of the yellow dot behind the eye. Neither of these has the strong white stripe on the head, but maybe they're too young, or are of the tan-striped persuasion. Comments or corrections are welcome. The feeder is right outside my computer window so I can watch them while I'm online. Claire

Rachel - we do see them in the nicer weather, but not as much. They seem to be a bit more bolder this winter than in past winters. kendra - thanks. Why I love digital photography; take a whole bunch, one will turn out nice.

Very nice photo! I still have white-throats here in southeast MA. They're here all winter and may breed here as well although I usually don't see them in the summer. They've been singing away so they may be intent on staying around.

I've been learning how to see them more regularly (bribe them with nyjer seed on the ground and look just before it gets dark) so maybe this summer I'll keep seeing them.

What a money shot!! I get more of a "birds eye view" from above on the 2nd floor. They usually pass thru twice a year and we're blessed c their sing song whistle and cute "bicycle helmets" on the males.
Saw a Tufted Titmouse in Shorewood Village, WI last wknd while hunting for Morels.
