Nice capture! The plumage is a little bit strange looking.-I like the way you include all of the various names under the photo-good idea!
January 2nd, 2008 at 5:45 pmI love the indigo bunting and your photos of this ruffled up guy. That second picture looks like me in the morning! Ha Ha.
January 2nd, 2008 at 11:58 pmHappy New Year!
Great bird pics. I love seeing how the birds you have in the States are so different to the ones we see here.
Just wanted to let you know that we’re now gearing up for round 2 of the Garden Bloggers’ Carnival -a bit different this time, in that I’m asking people to nominate a post from another person’s blog. Full details on my blog today (Jan 3rd). I hope you’ll participate again, like you did last time. And of course, if anyone else reads this, please join in!
Happy new year!
Sue

Thanks for the comments! Happy New Year to you all!
