Spectacular. Very pretty bird, but those reflections add to the beauty.

Juvenile blue tit, almost adult plumage

That one is really a beauty Sidknee. So nice and sharp. You certainly get wonderful images when it's windy and rainy out.

I knew immediately. I fit the description perfectly. Remember the old expression, "if it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck, and looks like a duck...then, it must be a duck. Dat be me.

But can a lame duck really walk like a duck? Walk at all?

Still waiting for the wisdom they promised would be worth getting old for.

Of course I know that because if there’s any seed over night the bear cubs trashed my feeder with zero remorse.

Now that would make interesting video.
Maybe hand feeding would help their manners

Yes, it's very possible. They just limp a lot. Dat be me.

Love this. Agree, the weather effects add some reality to the life of those birds.
Beautiful bird
