Thank you all, I appreciate all your good comments. I have really enjoyed the challenge of documenting the birds that visit my garden. Until this winter I had never photographed a bird...maybe a duck or two. I accidently caught a hummingbird once...did not even realize it until I printed the photo .
Maybe your just a born eye for photography. i never get that many cardinals in one spot. I have the red belly woodpecker, an about 4 others here. They are beautiful birds. Are the birds coming for spring now ? hummers ?
besewn...thank you,they should start coming. I have a time table of approximate migration, I need to check it. sjoerd...thankyou too, I think it is clematis. I needed a change of seasons.
