Thank you, Marlene Berlin! When I sent my photos from Mason Neck State Park in Lorton, Virginia, she suggested I look at Marjorie Rachlin’s marvelous 2013 and 2015 postings on wildlife in winter.
That prompted me to look for winter wildlife in our neighborhood. Once again, it took a trip afar to bring me home! Within 50 feet of the Nature Center in Rock Creek Park at 5200 Glover Road, NW (a few blocks off Military Road), I found a host of winter inhabitants, drawn by its garden and its array of bird feeders. Here is a sampling, with links to more information about each type of bird from the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology:

Now that I’ve seen these birds at the Nature Center and put up our first bird feeder, I’ve started to see them in our backyard. But that’s another story…

These are so beautiful. My sister works at Cornell and we often talk about the different birds we see. I can’t wait to share with her.

Maggie Boys, thank you! As you may have noticed, the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology is one of my favorite resources.
