Hi all,

It's typical St.Louis winter here now, with snow and cold, and sometimes bitter wind. But we must tend our birds regardless of weather, as they are out in the elements 24/7 and the few hours we spend with them each day seems the least we can do.

Here are some shots of them from this past week...

nice, I will have to try my hand at the wren's around here, I have seen a winter wren lately but the detail on your Carolina is very nice, love the portraits. See what I can come up with to compare with that Wren!
Great shooting Kenn!

Beautiful photographs, Kenn. I love #3 with the falling snow, a gorgeous image. The singing fellow and the Robin also stand out. But great work on all.

Wonderful collection Kenn... it is hard to see your beloved Bluebirds with snow surrounding him... I thought you might at least have him in a "hat and scarf" in weather like this... :) Exceptional shots as usual my friend.
