A few moments of distraction – of sorts – yesterday in west central Missouri:

Tufted Titmouse.
Parus bicolor.
Canon 5D III, Tamron 150-600.

A flitty little one, never still.

Cedar Waxwing.
Bombycilla cedorum.
Canon 5D III, Tamron 150-600.

Shy.

Dark-eyed Junco.
Junco hyemalis.
Canon 5D III, Tamron 150-600.
f 6.3, 1/200, ISO 800, 600 mm.

All about the meal.

Red-bellied Woodpecker. Melanerpes carolinus.
