Blue Jays are year round inhabitants of upstate New York. They are beautiful and comical clowns but can also be pests, keeping the bird seed from the smaller birds. Here two colorful Blue Jays are scratching in the snow for something to eat. Blue shadows form a lovely pattern in the against the white.

Two baby Canadian Geese sit side by side on a grassy area near a small lake. These goslings can't yet fly, and they have very soft, fuzzy down feathers rather than the colors they will show as adults.

The Red-bellied Woodpecker is a medium-sized woodpecker. It breeds in southern Canada and the northeastern United States, but can range as far south as Florida and as far west as Texas. Its common name is somewhat misleading, as the most prominent red part of its plumage is on the head! Here he is perched on a cake of suet.

This is a pair of Gilded Flickers, a small woodpecker found in British Columbia Canada. They were at the top of a tall pole doing some type of mating ritual dance, bobbing their heads and swaying back and forth for several minutes before flying away.

This colorful poster features a blue jay who has landed on a porch deck in upstate New York surrounded by flowers. The blue, gray, white and black coloration of the bird is set off by a riot of color. There is a decorative teapot with orange and yellow nasturtiums and a purple petunia. Green leaves complete this kaleidoscope of colors.

White Crowned Song Sparrows are the most abundant and widespread wild bird in backyards and small shrubbed areas across North America. They are also one of the easiest birds to identify. The white-crowned sparrow sings with a high whistle and buzz call that may be heard at any time of day and even into the night, particularly when males are singing to claim territory.

Two young Mallard ducklings nuzzle eachother affectionately. Their reflections and lilypads are seen on the water surface of a shallow community pond. These wild birds are the most recognizeable and well known breed of duck, with chicks hatching from late April to late May. After about two months, ducklings usually have full-grown feathers and are already flying.
