My Winter Walk

I went for a walk around our property on Saturday for, oh the second time this whole winter I think! My hubby has been working a ton so I haven't been able to venture too far from the house because of my 2 year old. It was so nice to get to go down to the creek and look for some birds other than starlings and house sparrows. I didn't actually see much this time, it was a very quiet day, but I did see a pair of Mallards, a lonely Robin and a Blue Jay.

Getting Closer... BPW #75

Ohhh, I am so excited! I got the closest I have been to my Belted Kingfisher today! Its is so shy though, its hard to get close enough for a good shot. But I did get close enough to be able to tell that its a female =)

Bird Photography Weekly #36 - Pine Siskins

I looked out the window today to see these birds at my goldfinch feeder. I thought, aw great stupid sparrows learned how to flip upside down...grrr! But then I got out my binoculars and took a closer look. I saw some yellow on the wings...hmmm.....what is that? Not a goldfinch....then Pine Siskin somehow popped into my head, I could just hear my mom say it. I really couldn't picture one for sure so I looked it up. Sure enough, that's what these were! I was so excited, so of course, I ran and got my camera. Boy, I really wish I had a better zoom lens!
