The rain has really moved into central Florida and our bird friends are doing their level best to fill their crops before looking for refuge from the rain. Most photos cropped in IPhoto. In some shots you will be able to see the rain. Focus is softer than I wanted it because of the rain I think. I hope you like them; please try the downloads.

It's been colder n a well diggers butt crack here and the birds are cleaning the feeders almost daily ( 9 total, 1 x-lrg, 3 lrg, 3 med and 2 small) on last of 140 lbs of seed, and 40 lbs of black oil sunflower seeds.
And I thought the 140 lbs would last 2-3 times longer then it did.

Thanks for stopping by dooragdragon, I have to agree wholeheartedly this is a weird winter its cold and rainy it what was supposed to be the dry season, birds are flocking to feeders and going through wild bird seed like there is no tomorrow. Do you think they know something we don't. :) :)

Great shots for a rainy day Jim, well done, especially like the one with the slanting rain. Hope the rain stays in Central Fl,

Thanks for stopping by gregory and for the nice comment. I am not complaining about the rain, but would like a clear day on a weekend to visit Lyonia preserve for some scrub jay shots. Thanks again.
