This afternoon's garden visitors. They were quite happy to be gobbling up the corn scattered about on the icy backyard... these pics were taken through the kitchen window. I attempted to head out to the deck to get some better shots, but even though I was super quiet they didn't waste any time heading into the trees.

A recent visit by a Hairy Woodpecker... the male and female never seem to come together, this time the female was dining alone. I took this through the kitchen window and even then, I felt as though her eye was on me, not sure whether or not she could trust me enough to stay for a meal...
