It is about winter... or at least it feels like winter. I keep watching the weather, but my mind is on spring. It's only a few months away.
Saw a pair of American Robins today. They gave me enough time to get a good photo.

This red squirrel had me laughing. He charged directly towards me, assessed the threat, decided I wasn't worth his time, and dramatically aborted the mission. Really cute.

The Yellow-bellied Sapsucker is back! In this low light, you can actually see the yellow. It’s a total show-off, but still a pretty cool bird.

It has been a while since we photographed a Blue Jay. There were actually a couple of them. Loud and beautiful.

Getting a photo of this Great Blue Heron was an absolute comedy of errors. I first spotted this majestic bird in the creek, where she promptly flew away before I could even set up a shot—clearly, she wasn't ready for her close-up. Then, he (or she, the bird kept me guessing) reappeared on the banks of the fishing pond. I managed a couple of blurry shots that looked more like abstract art than wildlife photography. Finally, she flew into this tree, but there was too much noise to get a clear photo. Some days you get the perfect shot, and some days you just get a good laugh. It happens.
