Soaking up the sunshine.
First up, American Tree Sparrow.

And a Bluejay, hiding his blue. Luckily the blue sky was willing to make an appearance!

Thanks Dan! The cold temps just keep hanging on, below zero again overnight. It's March first...warm days are coming!

Thanks Stacy. The Bluejay is my favorite too, but I liked the unique pose of the sparrow in the first shot.

Thanks Jeff. The sunshine is so rare, that I just have to get the camera out when I see it!

Thanks John, Peter, and Red! I don't usually shoot birds in the tops of trees because I can't hold the lens steady, but this time I was using a tripod.

Treetops-as close to the sun as possible, right? Nice shots, Sandy.
