    These are some of the lovely birds that provide color and joy to my dreary winter garden. I have the feeders right outside my kitchen window so I can enjoy them (and don't have to get out in the cold).
    Enjoy

    Gail, you have such a lovely variety of birds! The nuthatch is especially cute. Thanks for sharing your winter birds with us (and send those robins to us!).

    Fantastic pictures Gail, birds can be a great diversion during the winter months as we wait for warm weather and our spring activities.

    Those beauties would make anyone's winter seem a little less drabby. Great photos as usual.

    What a lovely collection of superb photos. We don't have cardinals here so it is such a treat to see them in all their colors. The tree/bush that the birds are sitting on is such a great "prop". What type of plant/tree is it? I never knew that robins in bunches could look so much like berries in the trees. Love all of the photos.

    Thank you Cheryl,so glad you enjoyed them.
    Thanks for the nice compliments Jewell. Most of my bird photos are taken in the dogwood tree that sits right outside my kitchen window. The buds are swelling and it should be blooming shortly.
