A red-shouldered hawk perches on a snow-covered deck railing - head stretched forward and bent down. The backdrop is blurry tree branches criss-crossing the frame against a light grey sky.

A red-bellied woodpecker clings to the side of a thick tree branch covered with snow on the opposite side.

A roughly starling-sized brown bird with a disproportionately small head and grey feather-tips on its wings sits on the top bar of a chainlink fence, facing away from the viewer. Its head is cocked at a curious angle.

A roughly starling-sized brown-backed bird with a disproportionately small head and rose-brown head and chest sits on the top bar of a chainlink fence. Its head is again cocked at a curious angle.

A rose-brown bird with pink feet sits on the top bar of a chainlink fence facing the viewer. Its head is cocked to one side, seemingly to allow it to focus one eye squarely on the camera. Several feathers around its neck are noticeably ruffled.

Today's small friend is this very inquisitive mourning dove.

I haven't felt this excited about anything in so long I'd forgotten what it feels like! I never thought I'd be lucky enough to see a Pileated Woodpecker in my yard. (Sorry for the language in the clip 😅) #BackyardBirding #NorthCarolina #PileatedWoodpecker

From the vault - Blue jay on the deck railing, feathers ruffled by the wind, leaning forward with seeds scattered along the surface, softly blurred blue/white background.
