White-throated sparrow. For some reason, for a short time today--perhaps fifteen minutes while I was doing paperwork--there was a flurry of songbird activity outside my office window. It seemed concentrated around a bare spot where snow had melted away, but it also included titmice assailing the eaves above the window, apparently grabbing insects from corners and cobwebs. The titmice were what drew my attention, but I didn't get any good shots of them.


Male northern cardinal.


White-breasted nuthatch.
