Taken on a very cold day (-25 Deg. C.). I think this bird allowed a close approach because it didn't want to waste energy.

Taken with Canon 10D, 100-400mm, 1/250 sec., ISO200

Harold, Welcome to NSN. this is a beautiful first post. Love the BG, the snow flakes and the snow on the stump. You can almost feel the cold. Look forward to more of your work.

Super first post, Harold. I love the falling snow. The size and placement of the bird is very nice.

Welcome to NatureScapes!!

A beautiful environmental House Finch. Delicate tones overall, reminds me lot of winter here in Finland.

This is really nice! I can feel the cold and think the photo evokes the chill in the air. Might consider brightening the face just slightly.
