Although, I have nothing of significance to report, I thought I'd share a couple photos taken of birds in the backyard. Being home sick has few advantages, one of which it gives me an extra day to watch the birds in the backyard. I missed the opportunity to photography either of the two red-tailed hawks that were concurrently hunting for Squirrel de Jour, but I finally managed to get a couple nice photos of feeder birds including my pair (1st winter) red breasted Nuthatches, and the infrequent visitor - a single Tufted Titmouse. I get a bunch of mourning doves each day. At this time it was interesting that five sat within a foot or two of one another. The first to arrive was on alert - catching it with its neck stretched upward So, here goes, like I said, nothing fancy, just a couple nice photos taken from the warmth of my kitchen: Pick the photos of your choice, or start with the first photo below and hit the [Older] button a bunch of times.
