You don't need a big camera when they come this close!

I also found this bug crawling on the snow, I have no idea what it is

Its always a thrill to hand feed the birds....not sure about the bug though

The little insect is a Winter Stonefly (order Plecoptera, I forget the family).

You're welcome! I took entomology last semester.

Cool!

After you posted the i.d., I looked it up on Google - interesting reading.

Nice shots Reuven. Must be a hand held camera and bird.

Thanks guys, I was hoping to get shots of multiple birds at once, but they weren't as interested in the seed as normal.
