Thanks.

A little cropping on one, more on the other and a few other edits to make the photos pop a bit. Don't know what I'll do with all these bird pics.... It's kind of like collecting stamps.

I missed a cool shot of a deer just outside the kitchen window in the middle of the day yesterday. Of course, by the time I got the camera it moved into the brush.

Watch a hawk this morning having his fill. It was like Thanksgiving for him. He was ripping apart a dove for at least a 1/2 hour. Still he left about half of the dove.

I've seen a hawk just down the street. I should put my camera in my car when I head out in a bit. Won't stand around too long taking pics.....it's cold outside! I did get a hawk pic and a deer pic the other day at the nature refuge. More blue jay pics today too. Anyone need bird pics to decorate their homes?

I have a picture of Mike Lohaus (Lovetodrive2000) giving me the bird but I don't think anyone would want it hanging in their house!

We have a bird, likely a chickadee, that has turned a front porch wall light into its personal toilet. The bird sits on the backside of the light cover and poops down the wall by the front door. Yesterday I cleaned everything up. I then put plastic with sharp spiked edges between the light and wall. This morning I checked it out. That did not stop it at all; in fact, it seemed to encourage the bird to leave even more. An online suggestion says to put shiny, glittery items nearby. So, if you drive by and see aluminum foil on our porch its not because we are worried about aliens.

Spray it with WD-40...not the bird,the light fixture.
