Thanks to Rosy and Sunny for hosting this event.
While many of these pictures were taken before the snow hit, the girls as Lady calls them have been around a lot.
We have a unique member, we have dubbed Snow White. She is not the right colour, and is not an albino, but as people who know way more about birds than I do, say she is leucistic one. She has some pigment. (This is the power of the internet, you can share and learn!)

If they stay around (and they might, they like our feeders, expect more of them!)
we bet your snow white loves winter... we like their message maye that is something like this cave art and you can sell tickets to visitors?
ReplyDeleteThe turkey marks in the snow are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThere's an amazing website through Cornell University in NY where you can quickly upload photos of birds (I think via text, or email) and it will identify the bird for you ... sorry I don't have the LINK, but should be easy to find if you google it.
ReplyDeleteHow fun to have the girls stay with you all winter. We love seeing the wing patterns in the snow.

ReplyDeleteThe app Ann is referring to is called Merlin - I use it a lot for bird calls. Definitely worth having. And I love Snow White and hope to see many more photos of her! YAM xx
Turkeys, are the one bird we have't seen around here, we really like yours!

I haven't seen our turkeys around lately, but I've seen some deer. ~Murphy
ReplyDeleteGlad to see Snow White is fitting in with her flock. Once the snow is covering the ground she will not even been visible by the predators. We had a leucistic jack wabbit over the summer. Most times I saw him he was in a large grove of trees....less likely to be spotted by predators.
