Birds gone nuts

With temperatures as high as sixteen degrees (C) this past week, we've

been spared the snow that much of North America has had for a couple

of weeks. But this morning we woke up to about eight inches (20 cm) of

snow everywhere. Luckily for them, we had seed in the bird feeders and

the juncos were taking advantage. This was the scene out the window,

over my shoulder, as I ate breakfast just after sunrise. There was a

flicker there when I first looked but there was no suet so he went in

search of better treats elsewhere.



This is a composite picture so, although it represents what *I* saw

from my breakfast window, at no time did my camera get all these birds

together. :) I did the "composing" in PSPX6 with a little finish in

Picasa.
