We’ve welcomed a Yellow-rumped Warbler to our back yard for the winter.

Here’s a female Red-bellied Woodpecker on the cylinder feeder:

I saw my first Yellow-rumped Warbler of the season, high up in an oak tree.  Northern Cardinals were calling incessantly.  I picked out a Red-bellied Woodpecker by flight.  And here’s a first-year male Red-winged Blackbird:

Finally, I saw the first Eastern Phoebe of the season.  It was sitting on top a lacrosse net in my neighbor’s back yard.  The net made as good a perch as any to look for flying insects.
