    Beautiful birdies - they really do get active when it snows, don't they! What have you got for food in that tree branch (with the little woodpecker on it)? Looks like sweetpotatoe!

    Really beautiful blue jay.

    Particularly like the chickadee and blue jay. Really like your rustic feeder. It makes for a much more natural scene than the plastic/metal type.

    Looks like peanut butter to me! Is it?

    Fabulous photos, thanks! The jay is spectacular.

    thanks Jack..I had a nice twig for the birds to sit on coming off of one of the side branches but a fat coon broke it one night.

    thanks Denise & you're right it's PB & cornmeal. She didn't really care for it so I have suet for tomorrow.

    Very nice shots, Dave. I especially like the way you've used pretty much a natural setting to entice them to pose.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
