There's just something so regal and proud about an eagle and Philip Odum photographed this one in the Sault Ste. Marie area, just after it had caught a fish and was sitting atop it in the snow. Maybe he was chilling it down so he could have a nice sushi dinner.

Today's second photo comes to us from Baraga, snapped by Donna MacIntosh. She has quite the bird feeding station in her backyard and gets visits from a wide variety of birds each day. On this particular day, she had two woodpeckers that look quite similar, except for their size. The Downy Woodpecker on the left is the smallest woodpecker in North America and the Hairy Woodpecker is a medium sized woodpecker with almost identical looks as the Downy. They're both fun to watch when they visit your feeder, but to have them both on the same feeder, at the same time is pretty special indeed. Then to get a photo of them like that is the icing on the cake, so to speak.

Spectacular photos!

Thanks, Philip and Donna.

Nice pix! Is that a duck on top of ol' Harry?

Excellent comparison shot, Donna! Thanks for
sharing!

Always enjoy the bird pictures! Thanks!

I always love seeing woodpeckers!!

gonna pick up a suet feeder tomorrow as today looks

week (maybe all Jan? Hope so!)

Lovely pics, especially the eagle.
