Nice shot Matt...I didn't get a single bird shot worth sharing. Kinda hard to shoot when I was shivering so bad. Cold weather isn't my favorite thing but, I am glad I went and I will go back when we have a warmer day. :cold: :snowman: :cold:

:up: Nice titmouse, Matt! Bravo to us all for braving the cold. I ended up staying til about 3:15.

Just a few to share....the park visitors were as colorful and fun to photograph as the birds were!

I don't really know why she's called a Red-Bellied Woodpecker....but that's what she is.

Kelly ...5 hours out in the cold...that's determination.

Sorry I missed this! Great shots Matt and Kelly. I love the Red Bellied shot and the exposure on that last Chickadee shot is astoundingly perfect.

We'll do it again, Joel, Kyle and Sandi (and anyone else who couldn't make it but would have liked to!) Agreed that Matt's last chickadee shot is the bomb! :up:

Here are a few more. (I'm waiting for permission to post a photo of Jr. Birdman Kerr, who prefers not to be photographed.) :cry:
