Adding light... The weather has broken. Spring is here! The snow is almost gone...
This Evening Grosbeak stopped by. I hope he'll come back, soon.

Winter Shots While not exactly a Winter shot, this late Spring shot illustrates what our little friends must go through in their daily lives. I got to go into the cottage and warm up after the shoot.

When? A large part of my enjoyment of photographing the critters is learning to understand them.
This is a shot of Rasta informing me of his beauty, status, and impatience. His flairing of feathers tells me that he wants a peanut, NOW!

A rare bird? I've become involved with Project FeederWatch, an extention project of Cornell University. I love the little birds, so I may as well do something that may help them.
For the past while, this bird, a Brown Thrasher, has been a regular at my feeders. I've been enjoying the new addition to the regulars. I had no idea that this bird was such a rare sighting in this area. It should be somewhere in Texas, but it seems I've gained a new family member. It even scraps with the Blue Jay Gang for peanuts!
