A few days ago it was 80F/26.5C and today it is snowing. That is March. The bluebirds are getting more and more territorial and there are more spats at the feeder. And the hawk is getting more active, too.

Dieser Kleiber hat sich mal recht brav fotografieren lassen

This nuthatch was quite cooperative, making it easy to take pictures

Birds are nature’s messengers—symbols of freedom, hope, and resilience. Each species has its own journey, and every flight is a reminder to embrace the wind.
