An attractive brown a white throat is sitting on a branch. This is a White-throated Sparrow, photographed in our backyard near Lake Placid, in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York. A short-distance migrant, a few White-throated Sparrows are seen throughout the winter inside the Adirondack Park Blue Line. However, most of the White-throated Sparrows we see in spring and summer in the Adirondack Park winter in the southern parts of the US and return to their breeding ranges in northern New York, New England, and Canada when snow melt exposes portions of the forest floor.

A bird with raspberry red coloration on his upperparts, neck, head, and sides is perched on a pole, waiting for his turn at the sunflower seeds. This is a Purple Finch. The Purple Finch is a year-round resident for us, breeding mainly in conifer or mixed forests, the edges of bogs, and riparian corridors.

A gray bird with a dark gray cap is perched on a branch. This is a Gray Catbird. Gray Catbirds are gray birds with a neat black cap and rusty feathers under its tail. These medium-sized, slender songbirds have a long, rounded, black tail and a narrow, straight bill. Catbirds are fairly long legged and have broad, rounded wings. Their name captures both their color (gray) and the fact they make a nasal mew that sounds like a cat.

A black bird with light yellow on the back of his head is sitting on top of a shrub. This is a male Bobolink, photographed at Heaven Hill in Lake Placid. Heaven Hill is owned and managed by the Uihlein Foundation. The Foundation has been working with the Adirondack Watershed Institute at Paul Smith’s College to study how grassland and other bird species respond to hayfield management. I am a volunteer “Bobolink Counter. I visit the hay meadow nearly every day in the breeding season to document behavior.

Today's balance. A swan lifting her wing feathers so the cygnets can get in and out from her warm protection; before they go for a swim. #swan&cygnets #longislandbirds #birdphotography #newyorkbirds

A female cardinal sits on a branch with some snow nearby. She is floofed out agains the cold. Her crest and tail are subtle shades of red and her beak is bright orange. She's a real beauty.

Don't let anyone tell you 'beige' is boring! This female cardinal proves that subtle shades can be stunning. And that pop of orange on her beak? Totally on point.
