    1. Very sweet! Groups of sparrows keep flying from the feeders into this burning bush. They must know they are hidden in it!

    1. You'd think she'd be in the sun
      as the day was about done.
      One last bit of warmth there
      before the cold night air!

  7. A master of disguise . . . lovely shot . .
    Our sparrow population fell dramatically about 10 years ago through disease. Still not recovered abd we don't see that many. Wonder if they all flew to Ohio . . . :)

    1. The sparrows, too? Didn't you tell me the Starlings died of disease?

    2. No, I remember mentioning Sparrows but not Starlings . . . come to think of it I haven't seen many of them lately either maybe someone else mentioned it . . . .

    3. Oh, good.... I was beginning to thing your bird population was completely going away!

  8. Such nice bird pictures! All of them!! Are you just that close from your window, or do you use a big old telescopic lens like those photogs on pit row at NASCAR races?? GOOD RESULTS with whichever way you're doing it!

    1. Photogs on pit road.....you act like you might know one! :)

      That bush is really close to the window but I did zoom in a little. I've requested
      a longer zoom lens for Christmas. Hope Santa thinks I've been good enough. ha.
