Great capture with plenty of atmosphere - I can just feel the cold winter wind and the wet snow just like these pretty redwings!

You have captured the falling snow well Brian , excellent composition and I think they are female Redwings......

Fong Lam		02-Dec-2007 02:32
Lovely pair (don't what species) and nice setting. Superb composition, Brian ~V~

Nice way to show the weather and still have some birds.

Nice composition, Brian! Don't know what they are.

Robin Reid		02-Dec-2007 01:40
That is an easy one ... that is snow. ;-) Wonderful shot. You must be quite proud.

Jean D		02-Dec-2007 01:32
Excellent capture and to get two together is just great, Brian! Terrific ambiance, surrounded by snow!! Well done.

Guest		02-Dec-2007 01:01
Those are Red-winged Blackbirds - females or possibly first-year males. That sharp bill and large size separate them from the sparrows. Good shot - I like the way the flying snow looks.

Dave Wixx		01-Dec-2007 23:49
Excellent focus on the birds with a great sense of the weather. Excellent shot. I would say they are sparrows but there are numerous types.

Guest		01-Dec-2007 23:36
Uhhh....birds. Kidding, haven't a clue. I absolutely love this winter scene. We don't get much snow here. The threat of a flake falling, it's shut down the schools, clean out the grocery stores and slap on the chains. Red Alert.

Peter Stahl		01-Dec-2007 23:23
Nice setting and composition Brain!. They look like Redpolls. Male and female. GMV.
