**Mac and Brenda Wilmot were able to get a video recording of their resident Carolina wren in their Lower Coverdale yard loudly vocalizing in January. 

Take a listen to the video link below:

 **The Rentons in Stilesville are enjoying visits from pine grosbeaks, as are several fortunate bird feeder yards this winter. Lorri Stevenson captured a photo of a beautiful male extracting the nutritional seeds from a highbush cranberry.

**The birds of the day, as Tony Thomas builds up his winter yard list, are the mourning doves that clean up the seeds the other birds spill from the feeder.

 

**Brian Stone was out and about and around on Saturday but found very little to photograph. He took a portrait of the male of the northern cardinal pair out of his kitchen window, and then some interesting clouds. One cloud image appears possibly to be an example of Kelvin-Helmholtz clouds, and one cloud photo shows a couple of small streaks of cloud casting long, straight shadows that looked unnatural in the sky. It's not easy to find straight lines in nature.
