Sunrise at the Feeder
I'm never up early enough for the sunrise but I caught it just rising above the trees and shining into the birdfeeder this morning. And a gorgeous morning it was, with everything covered in hoarfrost! It was 6 F (-14 C) and not a cloud in the sky at about 7:30. I included extras today, none of them very good shots, but I wanted to include them in my journal. The first is a Red-shafted Northern Flicker and Downy Woodpecker taking turns at the suet (unusual for the Flicker to let the Downy stay). The other two are Flickers in flight. I have tried so many times to capture their colorful wings and these are my first successes. I just wish the light had been better to really show them off! I'm going to keep trying!
