Finally - a little blue sky!


After LOTS of snowy days it was good to see a little blue sky if only for a short while. It was also nice to catch this guy in his natural habitat rather than clinging to the suet feeder where he hangs out everyday.

    A break in bad weather is always nice. Our 3 week cold spell ended this week.

    He's absolutely handsome and perfect in his natural surroundings, but I sure bet he appreciated that suet when it was needed.

    Great photos of this beautiful bird! And I know what you mean about blue sky. I had a rare glimpse of it the other day, but then we went back to overcast. I haven't been able to take many photos this season, due to the bitter cold and frequent snowfall.
