Title: Birds around the feeders this afternoon
Post by: lovetobird on December 12, 2010, 07:54:30 PM

Spent the afternoon indoors, away from the snow storm, doing some counts for Project Feeder Watch and of course grabbed a few photo's in the process.  Shot at my place in Barrie.

Chickadee getting smacked with a wet snow flake, the slow shutter speed makes it seem worse then it really was ;-)

Some great shots (except for the white stuff) :)  - really like the goldfinch shot and always like the juncos.

Wonderful photos!
I actually like the snow, I think it adds interest to the shots.
The chickadee pic is priceless!

Thanks everyone, though I don't like the cold temps I'm with Zed and enjoy having snow, it add another dimension to winter photography, there has to be positive that comes out of winter right or am I just kidding myself ;-)
