Far from home?
Given the freezing temperatures in Rhode Island the other day, this Black-capped Chickadee could have passed for a baby penguin.

Stare down
A Dark-eyed Junco watches me watching him. They typically wait for seed to drop to the ground before taking their share.

Bird (turd) is the word
A house wren, I think. This tiny bird is a frequent visitor at my dad’s house, due in part to the bird hotel he setup on the back deck, under the roof. As we sit and eat our own lunch, we watch as the parents come and go, feeding their squawking babies in the hotel. After the babies are grown and gone, we’ll need to relocate the hotel; the deck is a frequent target of droppings. Photo was taken with a Sony 200-600mm lens and Sony A7r5.
Nope. Not an alligator. Quack on.
