Have any of you heard of the "Birds are not real" movement?

Yes and they are morons!

Well my sparrow deterrents cut down on the sparrow traffic at the feeder, but not by much.Don't know why I had a sudden surge in their numbers in the fall. If you can't beat them................... They are mostly ground feeders, so I've been scattering some food on the ground for them. Less traffic at the feeders, gives more time to the other birds to grab some food. Maybe a hawk will swoop in and grab a few of the sparrows.

Hey Lainey, want a truly unique picture?

Just reading about this, Jerry. Taunton River covers a fair amount of area. I need specifics!
I took a ride over to Fairhaven again. No snowy owl, but a cute snow bunting. Also it was 40+ degrees out, that was a bonus.

I didn't feed it, just photographed it! Snow bunting near the coast. Not a bad day today with temps in mid 40's.

Oh my Lainey . . . that one is awesome. For my tastes in colors the browns, blues, and grays really push my buttons and awesome background and foreground. Maybe the best ever for my old eyes.

Thanks, Dave. He hopped around a bit, I've got a few other shots with different background colors. It was so calm at the beach, no wind. Got lucky didn't need a hat! I don't like hats!

I figured that must be a 'software' background. Wish it was that easy to change when I'm doing an oil painting.
