We have no snow this December, so very few birds around, but the Goldfinches are abundant and have my upstairs feeder practically to themselves, except for a few of our usual winter birds.

Also see the P&DA Version. Curious what you might prefer...if either.

Lovely capture Cindy. It's weird re the feeders as its the same here, so I guess its good that they are finding enough food elsewhere.

This is a beauty.

Great details and eye contact, Cindy. I also like the fluffed-up pose.

It looks like you're getting the same dark and dismal weather as we are. No snow but plenty of rain and more rain........ but what a sweet little feather ball!

So lovely capture this one. This shot lent itself very well to the processing you did.

Hi Cindy. I love seeing a little backlight / rim light here! The detail may be just a little absent on my screen but I see there was some sharpening as well. I like the feather fluffed out on the back.
