Had a wonderful day watching and photographing the birds in our back yard today!
This shot is my lucky shot of the day! The Blue Jays don't stay put too long.
At least it seems that way to me. Of course I know it's because we provide them with both food and clean water.
At one time we would have to wait for spring to see a Robin. The winter Robins have increased over the last few winters. Being a bug and worm eater, I have read that they are adapting to eating berries.
Not sure if this is a true fact or not!
I'm happy that the one's today look fat and healthy.

Shirley...such beautiful photographs of the birds!! they look so majestic in the trees with the snowy limbs. they take my breath away!! xo
Hi Shirley,
What wonderous photographs you captured. How I wish I could be in the presence of such beautiful birds. We just get the standard ravens, doves, sparrows, and mockingbirds. I very rarely see a bird with much color, here in Central Texas. Hope your Christmas was an enjoyable one, and blessings to you and your family in the upcoming New Year.

A nice selection of birds in your yard there Shirley. As you say, as soon as the weather closes in they know where to find exttra food and shelter.
So many gorgeous birds and your photos are amazing! Looks like you had a white Christmas as well. Wishing you a Happy New Year and all the best 2013.
How wonderful to have so many beautiful birds passing through your yard. That first shot really is lovely, especially against the snowy background.
Carissima Shirley,tanti,tanti auguri!!!!!!!!!Bacioni,Rosetta
Such lovely photos -- I love the Cardinals most of all, just because they were always my Grandmothers favorite bird :-)

they're so beautiful. perfect wintry birds (well, the robin might disagree.) :)
thanks for stopping in!!! blessings for the new year!
A beautiful series of backyard birds.
Beautiful birds.
Great set of back-yard birds. My feeder stayed very empty this winter. Maybe it was just not cold enough!
Cheers and thanks for linking to WBW.

Shirley,
I can't seem to ever get a good shot of birds - they always fly away. Our birds here are very ordinary, like the sparrow. Once in awhile, I will see my beloved bird, the hummingbird, and I don't have my camera with me. The birds that surround your home are very colorful and pretty, and seeing them against the white snow is just beautiful. Happy New Year, Shirley! If you ever get a good shot of the hummingbird, please take a picture for me.

Great series!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Wonderful series on your yardbirds. They are all pretty, Great shots. Also, wishing you a Happy New Year!
Yes! I saw a flock of robins eating berries off some low-growing evergreens today.
Oh My GOSH! Those are great shots! I have tried so many times to get some pretty pictures of the birds in our back yard... I just never can quite get it right. You did good!
Happy New Years!

Amazing that they stay with all that snow.
Lucky you to have such a bunch of beautiful visitors in your back yard!
Very nice photos!
Happy New Year!
Hi Shirley,
I enjoyed all your bird photos! I have been watching ours too and hope to get some photos posted.
What beautiful birds! You are blessed to have them close by!
Have a lovely weekend!

Beautiful shots of all your birds Shirley. Those blues and reds just pop out of the snow.
According to Birds of North America Online, fruit constitutes the majority of the American Robin diet in the fall and winter.
