eastern phoebe, turtle dove, and hairy woodpecker

Even though it was cold (about 40 and falling) I decided to go for my walk late this afternoon, this Eastern Phoebe didn't seem to mind the cold.






I was suprised to see this peeking around the tree - I think it is a ringed turtle dove, not a native dove but probably wild now.




Yes the hairy woodpecker was upside down when I first saw her, they have amazing toes to hang on with!



It looks like someone painted a white stripe down her back.



They never cease to amaze me with their beauty and ability to survive even in this cool weather.
