what a great collection eileen!! it was so hard to pick a favorite, they are all favorites but the buntings are spectacular. i also really enjoyed seeing the rose-breasted grosbeaks, my eye is always drawn to birds i don't see here. i don't see the grosbeaks, your picture of him is gorgeous!!

the blue jay is pretty as well, either deep in thought or striking a pose for you!!

so many thanks for hosting us critter lovers, 315 times, can you believe it!! enjoy this warm weather we have been having!!

Hello Eileen,
You show a beautiful series of photos, my favorite is photo five.
I wish you all the best for 2020.
Do you want to place my link, I can't do that.

Can now see reasonably, so I thought I would respond, soon it will not be possible for a few weeks.
Best regards, Irma
