Tufted Titmouse

Tufted titmice are frequent visitors to my feeders.  It is not always easy to get a photo of them because they flit in and out so quickly.  I usually hear their clear echoing voice before I actually see them, which is my cue to get my camera ready.

Feeding flock

Earlier today, a flock of American robins mixed with cedar waxwings descended upon the holly trees in our front yard.  They systematically harvested the berries and then quickly moved on to their next destination.  What a treat to watch these beautiful birds in action!

Expressions

The cardinals keep my backyard interesting with their beautiful colors and energetic activity.  Their constant sense of alertness can make for some rather expressive photos.

“We can speak without voice to the trees and the clouds and the waves of the sea.  Without words they respond through the rustling of leaves and the moving of clouds and the murmuring of the sea.  ~Paul Tillich
