Today was the first day above freezing in about a week. I took advantage of the tropical conditions to head out the back door and, again, photograph the birds attracted to the feeder. It was so warm and sunny that, a one point, I headed into the house to doff a layer, as I was over-dressed.
In the past couple of days, we observed a flicker and a red-breasted woodpecker at the suet feeder. Thus I was hoping that they would make an appearance while I was out. Alas, only the usual suspects appeared… chickadees in abundance, smaller numbers of titmice and nuthatches and a couple of downys.

Frank, these are amazing captures. You are certainly getting your money’s worth from that new lens. The detail is so fine that I can actually see the breaks in the bark on the branches around the birds!
I hope those other feathered friends make an appearance so you can do them justice with your camera and get them posted for the rest of us to enjoy.
Stay warm and click away!
