Pigeons are not an unusual sight here UP North, but this pose that Jeff Dennis captured recently is a bit unique, I think. And look at the beautiful iridescent colors on this snow pile perched feathered friend...so pretty!

The Pileated Woodpecker shots come to us from Jean Dessellier. These large woodpeckers are not rare here in the Keweenaw, but they are normally quite elusive and having them come to your back yard birdfeeders is a bit unusual, not unheard of, but definitely not a bird you’ll see there all the time. So when this big guy visits, Jean makes sure to capture some good close-ups of him.

My friend Donna MacIntosh (Donna) is always on the look-out for neat videos to share here on the Pasty Cam. This is one she sent and even though we have a plethora of Bluejays that visit our feeders, I don’t think I’ve ever seen them “shake it off” like these guys! Thanks, Donna!

Beautiful birds - hope folks have their feeders filled for the birds this week! And for all the Pasty friends who are under the blizzard warnings - be careful out there! Know the folks here have the common sense not to take chances!

That pigeon is so cool, as are the
woodpeckers. We had them a few times last
year but not yet this year.

I can't get into the video for some reason.
Nothing is blue for me to click on it.

The video is now there. I love it and I love
Bluejays. Thanks, Donna!

That pigeon is beyond cool...I thought it was some
kind of statue! That's a male pileated...the
stripe on his cheek is red. The female's is black.

You are welcome on the vid...I thought it was so
cute!

Nice pix and a very cool video Donna… you go girl!

Nice pics and cute video.
