Pulling together bird pix for a workshop next weekend. Glad to find I had more decent shots than I thought. These are from my yard.

The tuffted titmouse is a common year round resident in New England. It has a short pointed bill and black eye. It’s soft grey on top with a crest and buff underneath.
Pileated woodpecker in spring on a tree trunk. The largest of North America’s woodpeckers, pileated are over a foot long with bright red crests and a mostly black body with white stripes on the head and throat. They are big loud and fearless.
The northern oriole is a seasonal migrant to Connecticut. Its bright orange breast and tail contrasts with a black head and wings. It has a very clear toned melodic song. In this photo it is sitting among reddish green young maple leaves with its bill open singing. A blue sky is behind the branches.
Rudy throated humming birds are hilarious to watch. This one sits on a wire and spreads out its tail while reaching back to scratch under a wing. It’s hard to tell this is a bird since it looks like a spiky bundle of metallic green feathers.
