'Tony Montana' the Raven poses with snow on his enormous beak. That's it friends, I'm closing the winter birds file. Snooze, you lose.
❄️ Despite continued efforts, domesticated felines continue to rule the algorithm on Saturdays.

Like a Christmas Tree ornament, but with wings and an attitude, a very round and backlit male House Finch parks it in my snow-covered Emory Oak.

A borby Woodhouse's Scrub-jay looks back over his right shoulder from the perfect snowy perch in my Emory Oak on a winter morning.
When I think of the #perfectperch for a blue-headed corvid, I think of #SnowbirdSaturday... ❄️🐦❄️

🌿 Time to rise and shine... #SnowbirdSaturday ❄️🪶
So quiet. You can hear the snow cascading off of the branches above... as a male Ladder-backed Woodpecker meditates during a break in the storm while clinging to a spot in dappled light on a Ponderosa Pine tree with his eyes mostly closed and his floof fully on, staying warm and dry under a large branch. Zen birding. Have a sweet Saturday peeps!
The quieter

the more

That is Acorn #23, a male, happily borbing from his perch in a snow-covered pine. Something about this frame struck a nerve, idk what, during the mass Twitter exodus last year and it became my most 'viral' birb...
💙 Happy November Bluesky! 💙
So...when are we doing #SnowbirdSaturday again? ❄️🐦❄️

The RCAF Snowbirds completed their 2025 season this week with their home closer air show, what better time to share a #snowbirdsaturday moment such as this image from a photoshoot flight back in August 2024 near Abbotsford? This picture is also the January picture of my 2026 Canadian Aviation Icons calendar. Interested in one? Send me a DM for more details!

Hard to pick a favorite. This was from the YQQ air show in 2013. Can’t wait for them to be back in town for training #yqq #snowbirdsaturday

Let's make it a Snowbird Saturday! If you've got a picture of the Snowbirds, use #snowbirdsaturday and let's see some awesome moments of the demo team!

A colorfully borby male Anna's Hummingbird perched on a branch just starting to accumulate some snow on one end...
...looks both ways to make sure I get his good side. Cool how the iridescence just behind each eye freaked out my sensor.
There's two ways to look at this... #SaturdayVibes
❄️...the snow and the critters are all gone by the time we get up there, ...or they're not. 🤘😶🌫️
Thanks for hanging out though! 😆

We met this beautiful Raven in the winter sunlight as he was using that huge bill to forage through the fresh snow...
...moving from spot to spot along the fence line with his snow-skis...
...and sticking his face into the blow...er, snow...
...and posing with snow stuck to his beak...which is why I called him Tony Montana. Say 'allo to my lil fren...
That time we met a Raven named Tony Montana...
...for a last #SnowbirdSaturday of the season! ❄️🐦❄️

Just teasing you with a hint of his rump, a Yellow-rumped Warbler looks fantastic glaring over his shoulder on a winter visit to my birding sweet spot.

A close profile of a male Sharp-shinned Hawk facing a snow squall with crimson eyes... he's the smallest hawk in North America. I measured them.
In the midst of winter,
I found there was, within me,
an invincible summer.
And that makes me happy.

Sonnige Schneelandschaft an einem zugefrorenen Teich in der winterlichen Schweiz. Eine Frau läuft an 30 Enten vorbei, drei fliegen vor der Kamera, die meisten bleiben ruhig sitzen. Sunny snowy landscape at a frozen pond in winterly Switzerland. A woman walks past 30 ducks, three fly in front of the camera, most remain calmly seated.
Not in our garden but I cannot resist participating in #SnowbirdSaturday! ❄️🐦❄️
