Day 47 - Fatty


My gosh, look how fat this bird is! He/she certainly isn't starving this winter! Is she getting ready to lay eggs or something? Ha! That's how clueless I am about birds. Can you see it? I love how it blends in with the two different color fences so well. That's my fence and my neighbors fence. In an effort to get some more creative pics during the dreary days of winter, and to give O and I something to do, we went and bought 2 bird feeders today. The little guys/girls have already found the feeders. It didn't take long at all. I never knew how difficult it would be to grab focus of these little guys. They are fast! I got a really cool pic of one flapping his wings at the feeder, by sheer luck, but focus is a little off. I'll post it as well. I'm inspired by Owen's bird feeder he made at school and by some really cool pics I've seen of birds. We will see how this goes. Maybe I'll learn some of the different kinds of birds now. Note to self - do not fill up the bird feeders in the kitchen floor...unless you want to sweep. :)

  4. I hope you have better luck at bird photography than I did. I became obsessed with it last winter and then the starlings moved in and took over my feeders.
