I'm so ready for it to warm up again!!! How about you...did y'all get much? Nice! We got about the same. We had a good sledding run back by the pond in the back, which was great fun! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clip Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Another species I have numerous good photos of....I choose this one because of the eyes. So often when perched the eyes are closed or only partially open. On this bird they are wide open. Their eyes don't show a pupil and the darkness of them bring to mind a black hole. Would love to post a close up of this one eye too but...Some times rules should be reconsidered. IMHO 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly do to covid, and products being on back order, your prizes will be a bit late arriving, but we will send them on the latest possible date. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
