A few recent photos: First up a couple of black and white photos I took near the Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The Education First building in black and white gives a nice high contrast photo, showing the geometric patterns of its glass ground floor atrium that folds back up into the building as it rises.
A photo of the northern bridge tower with the foot path bridge providing leading lines into the photo. The foot bridge rises up over the railroad tracks then plunges under the Zakim Bridge.
A white-breasted nuthatch female perched upside down, bending to look around. Nuthatches are niche feeders that move down trees from the top, giving them a different feeding angle from woodpeckers who move from bottom to top.
Continuing on the feeding theme, a male eastern bluebird is enjoying mealworm treat we put out; he posed nicely for a portrait.
Finally, a couple of birds with a red theme. This female northern cardinal stopped by our feeders for a quick snack, posing long enough for this photo.
A male red-bellied woodpecker, showing the orange-red belly from which its name is derived. Red bellies are at the top of our bird feeder pecking order, quite literally. Even aggressive blue jays don't mess with these woodpeckers; they know they will lose to a bird whose bill is designed to penetrate hard wood...
