Just felt like sharing an odd group!

A turkey on my lawn. The pile of snow is now gone, but we had snow flurries today.

I really like the molting goldfinch, Sandy; very interesting to have captured it mid-way. Well done.

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

Thanks Al. It is amazing all the different stages the Goldfinches are at right now. Some are just starting to change, and some are done.

Thanks Ted, much appreciated.

Some of the birds like to drink water that collects in the sunflower, even though they have a water source just a few feet away.
