Why it’s called a red-tailed hawk.

A male Baltimore oriole has been hanging around Le Sueur, Minnesota, all winter. He likes the town and folks have been feeding him grape jelly. Feeding jelly is a challenge when that foodstuff can freeze so quickly.

The female downy woodpecker forages in inferior winter hunting grounds as the male claims the prime natural locations.

And in today’s views: A crow puts on some mussels.
