4th day in a row of rainy, dreary weather. No end in sight, especially with a hurricane threatening by the weekend to bring a ton more rain. Wonder how it will affect migration, could see some random vagrants getting dropped in our region. Poor little things :-(

One of my fav pets was a Leucistic Chickadee I had back a while ago.

This guy on the other hand is just a normal cool dude. When you have them in your hand they are twice as detailed in feather than I have every captured with my camera...

Thanks, Richard.

No, it never went on for long... a minute or two. Then he was back up in a tree. :-)

Those are two great shots, Melissa. That hawk is practicing for the "real thing." It's quite unusual to get nice shots like those.

Great shot Paul. They all posed very nicely for the photo except for "little Johny" who refused to turn his head for the family portrait.  :p

Great shots, Shalu. You certainly get some of the best shots of birds devouring their prey. It requires a lot of patience.
