Keeping an eye on you

I have seen very little of these guys all winter: at my feeders probably only twice. Have not seen them on my walks by the river since fall either.

This little one seemed to have an issue with its legs. It could fly OK but seemed to be on its belly to feed on the rail at one point with wings spread wide as if to keep balance.

Frisky males when the girls are around!
