Backyard Birds

Today was much colder than yesterday, but still sunny. This afternoon I took a moment to sit outside (in the cold...I was bundled up) to watch the birds come to the feeders. I sat on the steps of my deck with my camera in hand. If I do not move, the birds quickly adjust to my presence, despite the fact that I am only about fifteen feet away. Either that, or they were really hungry.

Here are my three favorite photos: Carolina Chickadee with seed in beak, Mourning Dove and Downy Woodpecker.
