Late Autumn At the Feeders

White-breasted Nuthatch (Sitta carolinensis). This graceful pose by my model, the female White-breasted Nuthatch, was captured a while ago but reflects the many birds that I’m seeing right now at my feeders. I didn’t have the feeders out during the summer and greatly missed seeing all but the Ruby-throated Hummingbirds which circled the cabin, round and round. The Hummingbirds, of course, have long ago migrated south but now I’m delighted to have the winter soon to start, with its myriad of birds that will bring great warmth to my heart.
