Birds of Spring & Happy Birthday

"I was talking with Little Brother Larry a couple of nights ago. I accused him of having better spring weather in Minnesota than here."

"Our birds are very late. We still have at least a dozen Juncos in the backyard every day and twice that many White-throated Sparrows."

"Winter birds."

"The bird list so far."

"I thought I might get a glimpse of 'Our Bird' for your Birthday. Maybe tomorrow."



"I do have a new photo of you. It's new because I don't think you've ever seen it."

Good Night ... and

don't stay up too long

Super Bowl Month!

Family Calendar Update

I thought I'd post a shot of all the birds and at the same time a larger image of the cover page.

The images here can't begin to show the quality of the photos. All the photos are 6.5 X 9.5 and have a resolution between 200 and 300 pixels per inch and are printed on 8.5 X 11 Kodak photo paper.
The photos were shot with either the Nikon D50 or the Nikon D70s cameras. The lens was either an AF-S Nikkor 300 mm, f2.8 with Vibration Reduction or an AF-D Nikkor 80-400 mm, f4.5 - 5.6 also withVibration Reduction.
