Oh my how cute. Do you ever wonder how strong their legs have to be...look at his big body compared to his skinny little legs! That a lot of weight to be carrying around (even if it is all feathers)

Especially, with a howling wind blowing that seed bag around. They were incredible to watch today.

I bet! I really have yet to find bird photos as good as yours. You really do a great job.

Why, thank you so much, Sue. That means a lot to me... Really!

It's the truth! I really enjoy looking at the bird photos, and I have learned so much.

What a cute little charmer...and like Sue, I'm in awe at how strong those tiny legs are...this looks like you were standing a foot from him/her. Great capture!!

I have to second Sue, Gary, Your bird shots are second to none.

As for the birds still coming in the blizzard..... Well you've gotta eat havn't you!

I bet they are nice and warm under all those feathers!

They're definitely well-fed here!

Thanks for the compliments, everyone... they are really appreciated.

I'm third - Gary, I can only hope to see half as many birds as you do, much less get a chance to get a picture of them. You are very fortunate to have this opportunity.
