Update: this is the slate-colored subspecies, Junco hyemalis hyemalis (yes, that’s repeated).

Must resist the urge to boop this raccoon's shiny little nose! Good thing I can't climb that high.

Face-off at the feeder! The male northern cardinal was hoarding the feeder, but this female hairy woodpecker put him in his place with a literal tongue-lashing!
Ce cardinal rouge male intimidait les autres oiseaux au mangeoire, mais cette pic chevelu l'a vite remis à sa place!

The white-breasted nuthatch (sittelle à poitrine blanche en français) is not easy to photograph; they are often on the move, and rarely sit long enough to get a good picture. This one paused on a nearby branch, probably wondering if I brought it snacks.
