New year so time to post a few pictures!

Well I am not keeping up with my Blogs but here is at least one post to this Blog!
First I recommend slipping over to Nick Saunders web page! He has a wonderful calender which he has been selling of his bird photography!

We have been trying to get a couple of trips in looking for snowy owls! So far one trip alone (2 owls), one with my wife (4 owls) and one with my brother in law (1 owl) have all been good! Light conditions have been so varied so you take the shots when you get them.

 Day 1 Owl 1

 Day 2 Owl 1

 Day 2 Owl 3

 Day 2 Owl 4

Day 3 Owl 1 on a very grey day!

When this one flew away it flew over an area that was hollow and out came a raven to challenge it. The raven stayed close so we think there must have been some kind of carrion out of sight in the hollow.









Here at home the feeders are visited by Black capped Chickadees, House Sparrows, Magpies and a Downy Woodpecker. The food we offer is either hulled sunflower seed or raw sunflowers, suet blocks and the occasional pile of bread crumbs. Again these are poor light and through the living room window.
