Do you have the Photography Winter Blahs?

I don't like cold weather, so in the winter most of my images are shot from the warmth of my home. I do love to photograph birds through my windows and have found that in addition to seed feeders, a bowl of homemade "suet" (actually a blend of Crisco, Peanut Butter, and Cornmeal with some peanuts and raisins thrown in) has become a great attractant to a larger variety of birds than I've seen in previous winters. I thought this bird was a confused American Goldfinch until someone told me it was a Pine Warbler. First time I'd ever seen one. A real spirit lift to see a new bird.
