Carly hate to tell you but you are wrong. This is a great action shot.

What a superb in-flight shot - how modest are you "not a great shot"! It IS a great shot.

Thanks John and Bonnie, not a great shot but a fun one for me. *smiling*
John, it wasn't as bad as predicted, though it isn't over yet. More to come tomorrow.
Amazing what all those delicate snowflakes can amount to, though.

Carol, this is a gorgeous flight
photo. I love that front wing.
Skittish can be good sometimes.
And that is a lot of snow!!

Love the count-the-primaries detail here. Well, did you get that big dump of snow? John

Thanks Char, actually birds have incredible eyesight. They have telescopic vision too, can see a speck on the ground and zero in on it, clearly. This is a female sparrow.

Fantastic stop action! What a wonderful shot. I heard that birds have poor eyesight. I never really believed it because they seem to be pretty alert to movements. Especially Bluejays, I never saw such a skidish bird. Is this a Finch?
