In birding over my weekend, the little birds caught my eye. Their energy, their big personalities, and their ability to dangle from any plant - I love those qualities! The temperatures have also dropped, I have found myself cold, craving more layers, and at times, shivering. Winter is drawing near and birds big and small are preparing- much of that involves eating.
From Brooklyn to the Bronx here are little birds, dangling, flitting, and snacking, as little birds do!

| An upside-down red-breasted nuthatch scours the bark for a tasty morsel. |
 |
| Loudly making its presence known as it makes it's high pitch, "heh-heh, heh-heh-heh, heh, heh" the entire time. |
 |
A favorite sight: upside down golden-crowned kinglet!
Absolute perfection on a moss covered twig. |
 |
| It's pretty perfect right-side up too! |
 |
In Pelham Park, it was so windy. I was excited to explore an area I had never been before, Turtle Cove was secluded, quiet and muddy.
That was no problem for me and no problem for this white-breasted nuthatch. |
 |
| Near Hunter Island, any Goldenrod left has gone to seed, and if it had seeds, it was dropping with goldfinch. |
 |
I love how this little goldfinch is covered in seeds too!
Jerked and rocked by the wind, this little tiny dinosaur didn't stop, it was on a mission to get every last seed. |
 |
| We drop down to near freezing tonight. Hope those little birdies stay warm! |
