We've been iced in the past couple of days. The freezing rain, sleet, and snow arrived Monday night and continued most of the day Tuesday. It has shut virtually everything down. I will be able to go to work Thursday. Since I had some time on my hands, I decided to grab the new telephoto lens on my camera and practice a little bit. Our lot borders on common property in the subdivision and there is a ravine there. Deer run behind the house all of the time. I keep a couple of bird feeders stocked and that gives me the opportunity to photograph a variety of birds. The first shot was taken over 100 feet from the subject, so it's not quite as sharp as I would like. I really need to hone my skills before my grand daughter's soccer season starts in March. Enjoy.

At 100 feet I think your photos are beautiful and are just full of colour and atmosphere!! How lucky you are to have such a lens, mine is only at 400mm.
I think your photographs are awesome. You will be fine in March and we can all enjoy your granddaughters photographs.
Have a terrific day. Big hug. :)
MOST EXCELLENT Sir.
Love the shots!
Beautiful!
I particularly love the woodpecker, such a handsome fellow.
I might feel differently about him if he was outside my bedroom window at 2:00 am sawing away, kinda the same way I feel about my husband! Handsome, until dark!
Wow! A wonderful ornithological collection! I only wish my city in winter offered as colourful a collection.
Great shots! We've had warmer weather...so much so that the birds have come out to take advantage. It's great for a kitty who has gotten so tired of looking out the window at bleak bland bareness.
All 4 photos are most impressive. Thanks for sharing.
Hugs and blessings,
