Not bad for the dirty window.

Thanks, Wayne. I was also shooting toward a late-afternoon sun, which is probably why the cardinal youngster looks kind of washed out.
One of the nice things about winter is that we will have up to a dozen cardinals in the back garden. In the spring, all but the mated couple will fly away (as will the white-throated sparrows and the snow birds). Don |

A beautiful winter scene, Glenn.
The juncos are now back in force to keep company with the white-throated sparrows. A couple of days ago, as I was walking in the neighborhood, a northern harrier swooped past. The second one I have seen in the 26.5 years we have lived here in Carlisle. Don |

A few I haven't posted from the Rio Salado area. A flock of ducks out for the morning swim. Gambel's quail. House Finch, mourning doves and one taking off.

I like your first shot - but then I am always a sucker for water reflection shots!

Great shots, Wayne! That house finch is well camouflaged. We have a lot of those, although not as many as in the past. Sometimes the goldfinches outnumber the house finches here, and I don't recall ever seeing a purple finch west of the Susquehanna River (they are common in Cape May).
We also have a lot of mourning doves. I have been trying to get some decent images of our backyard birds and hope to post some soon. Don |

Birds and Snow
A few bird pictures I took during a Missouri snow storm.

Those are superb images - far better than I can achieve through the dirty sunroom window. I have spent a long time looking at them.
