I would have been happier to see this magnificently striped House Finch in the lilac bushes this morning, if he hadn't been modelling the latest in spring snowflakes!
(Yes, still snowing, but we know the melt is on the way and the water birds will rejoice when they see all the new lakes and ponds Saskatchewan plans to provide for them in 2013...)

Amazing photo and I hear you on the snow. Saw a Canada Goose yesterday standing on her nest surveying the surrounding frozen ponds. Sigh. :)
ReplyDeleteI feel for the migrating birds -- when it's time to fly, they fly, even if we're not ready here for them!
