Yes FCP, yesterday in the snow, Deb was running.

I wish I knew of some place like this around Halifax. I can find ducks, the darn things are all over the place because people feed them and they don't bother to fly south for the winter. Pigeons are also in abundance but I'll be darned if there's some place I can find all kinds of pretty birdies like this one you have here.

Sure looks cold! I like the blurred background behind the woodpecker.

Windchill was -21C, if you look close you can see the snow streaks one is just past his eye and there are several in the background.

Greg, Great shot! I assume you used a zoom to get that close? BTW what does FCP mean?

nice catch greg!
Hey Iggy I have the nuthatches, chickadees and others in my feeder all the time. I just havent gotten around to setting up my tripod to catch them yet. You can always come here

Nice Shot Greg. I have yet to capture a male that I'm happy with. It seems the females are more friendly.

I give you a lot of credit for shooting in the cold. I've been going to the same spot everyday for 3 weeks now, and some days, it takes everything I have to get myself out there.

How close were you?
