Since it's been a very windy 28* couple of days and not wanting to be out in the near 0* wind chill, It's given me a chance to go through some of my most recent photos. These were taken back a couple weeks ago. Thanks for looking.

What a brilliant pose and shot Brad... the finch is a beauty... and the WC is such a gorgeous sparrow, good to see him again, I have a long wait for his return... pretty shots.

Beautiful shots Brad.....would love to have some of the white crowned sparrows spend their winters with me, but so far, none have.

Brad,
These are both GREAT, The Finch against that Blue sky is amazing, love the crop as well leaving some environment in the shot, just beautiful...

That sparrow is a showstopper as well!!!
