I know I loose image quality through the window, but I'm willing to make the sacrifice, especially when it's raining!

1)American Goldfinch in my Crabapple Tree.

3) Another shot of the above Goldfinch in the rain.

4)Male American Goldfinch. My husband took down my old bird feeder to replace it with a new one. We decided to modify the new feeder, so in the mean time the birds were landing on the platform where the feeder belonged. Even though they had many other feeding stations, I put some seed on the platform! Happy birds once again!

Awesome shots, great colours. Funny how birds get used to the way things should be, isn't it?

You must keep your windows clean. Those shots are very good for being through glass.

There will be days when you get the shot(s) you missed days, months or years before.

Thanks Ian. Yes it is funny, even birds know how to control us humans!

Thanks Jeremy. I wipe the windows down with straight vinegar, but just at my height! The rest of the windows are dirty!

Thanks Jeff. The Jay is my favorite too. When I saw that one on the back of the camera, I thought...nailed it! I was standing quite a way back from the window because Bluejays spook very easily in my yard.

Thanks Brad. We had snow for so long that it makes us appreciate color so much more!

Thank you both! We have had plenty of rain the last few days, but the sun is shining on this beautiful Sunday morning. I shall go try my luck at bird photography!
