 My first shot of the season :-)

I think the little one looks like a dolphin in a tree!

Take Off at Big Spring

 One minute everything is still and quiet...just swimmin' along on a beautiful day.

Then, without a hint, we have take-off with ripple going every which way.

Gotta Feed Those Babies Part II

 It takes two to feed four! 

This look says emphatically...

"Scat! Leave us alone! Get away from the window ASAP!"

Double click and the click again to really blow up to see the babies. I was focusing on the babies so they are so sharp when the picture is enlarged.

Mr. and Mrs. Red and Woody on a Snowy Day Last Week

Here are some mosaics I made in PSE11 for my BB2 Class #8. The pictures were taken last week during that heavy wet snow. As you can see, I was experimenting with adding type in the second collection. This was the easiest-peasiest thing to do ever. Just a couple of clicks and the pictures were out of the old photo bin and into a mosaic.

Two LIttle Birds Sitting in a Tree

THE STATE BIRD OF VIRGINIA

I think I see someone...

OK...I'm gonna go for it...

I was right...Look who's comin'...

 Whoa...Things are looking up...

 Two little birds sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G...
 and go away you nosey birds and give us some privacy...

I have a feeling this is just too good to last...

 Dog-Gone-It - I was right. It was too good to last.

So Sad

This sweet white-winged Junko flew into our front porch glass storm door the other day and died immediately. My friend who is a birder came over a short while later and helped me to identfy it. He pulled out the feathers so I could see the white. After I took the pictures, we gave him a proper burial.

Bird Love

The birds are really starting to come, but I have got to get to where I can identify all of them.  I love to see how they sit on their little perches like they are standing guard, doing a ballet dance, solving the problems of the world, or checking how far down it is to terra firma.

I Had Company for Luncheon Today

We got our second mini snow today, and who did I see but my little pal. Guess he was really hungry because I did not seem to upset him too much. I have to giggle a bit when I look at his position in the first picture. Can you imagine eating your dinner holding on like that? It is so good to be back online.  I've missed you all and hope that each and every one of you has had a wonderful holiday and you are ready to ring in 2013. Time just flies by when you are busy taking pictures!

Being such a newbe to photographing birds, I had to go to my Sibley's book to try to identify this fine feathered friend. After looking at all the pictures of woodpeckers, I have decided that I THINK it is a Downy. Please help me....am I right or wrong? Remember, I need all the help I can get.

These are both SOOC other than cropping and adding my name.
