  • House Finch Bathing - John mentioned that he has a heater in his fountain to keep it running for the birds.  We have one, as well.  Like Linda's, our heater does not cut on unless it is freezing or below.  So, the water is generally icy cold.
  • House Finch Taking a Bath
  • Sunflowers - this shot had quite a busy background, so I decided to change it to black.  It took quite a lot of painstaking work but I like the result.
  • Finch Bathing
  • Northern Red-Shafted Male Flicker waiting for its turn at the seeds.
  • Asian Collared Dove - We got about 4 inches of snow last night and it is still snowing.  I have already shoveled the drive and the sidewalks, although I will probably have to do it again.  Luckily, the snow is very light.
  • One of My Bathing Beauties on the Fountain - the way the finches puff out their feathers when they are bathing just makes me smile!
  • Dandelion Seedhead
  • Black Capped Chickadee
  • Tulip
  • Rose Breasted Grosbeak - a shot from last May, when they were migrating through.
  • Tulips with Raindrops in a Frame - I discovered these images of tulips that I had not processed and decided to isolate them and remove the backgrounds and replace it with black.  Then, I decided to put them all together in a frame.  It took a while but it was fun.
  • In Honor of All Who Served!  We Will Not Forget!  I have attached a link to most beautiful rendition of "Taps" I have ever heard.  It is very moving!   Recorded in 2011, the soloist was a 13-year-old Dutch girl, Melissa Venema, backed by André Rieu and his orchestra ( the Royal Orchestra of the Netherlands ). This beautiful concert piece is based upon the original version of taps and was composed by Italian composer, Nino Rossi.         https://www.flixxy.com/trumpet-solo-melissa-venema.htm
  • Puffed Up Blue Jay - I really enjoyed your reactions to yesterday's finch!  Made me laugh!
  • Finch Bathing at the Fountain
  • Dueling Blue Jays
  • Magpie - I do not see them at my feeders too often, so I was glad to be able to grab a quick shot.  They are quite common in Colorado Springs, though.

  • Scrub Jay with a beakful of corn

    very cool shot of this bird dunking in the feeder

    I would nearly be tempted to say that this finch had enough of politics and just wanted a bit of silence. Sticking your head into sand or water seems to do the trick. Amusing capture !

    Great timing to catch this moment of the finch deep diving, Judy.

    Great "bobbing for apples" shot of the finch! Big smile ;-)

    Dive right in & let the fun begin, really like the wings up & the tail down, nice balancing for this little house finch, wonderfully captured!

    Wow, you got the shot of this guy getting his head right underwater!

  • Byron Fair Photography

    Awesome timing

    Talk about getting right in there
