The snow adds to the beauty of your capturing those beautiful creatures of nature.
It is snowing here too, but not accumulating. No birds or wildlife to make it interesting. Yours are really nice.
Love the 1st pic. Mr Bird does not look very happy.
Sorry about the snow but I love the shots!
AWESOME SHOTS!! I remember my first trip to Colorado on Thanksgiving day in 1976. I started the morning driving up to a mostly frozen over Bear Lake trudging through the knee deep snow and having hundreds of birds thronging me for food. On my hike up to the lake I took some food with me and I ended up with several wild birds on my shoulder and others eating out of my hand. Your first photo brought back that memory. It was a cold winter as three days later we were driving my camper through the mountains along the old railroad track bed down into Cripple Creek when we spotted about 25 or 30 deer in the road which approached us so we stopped and my two children of 6 and 11 years hand fed the deer while standing on the back bumper with everything we had in our camper for over an hour. It included apples, carrots, bread and I can't remember what else. They were all skin and bone. I reached out and grabbed the antlers of an 8 point buck which he merely shook side to side and I let go. He never backed up but came forward to get his apple. from there through the mountains we went to Silverto and Uray and then Durango before heading north through Gunnison up to Yellowstone which was empty of people and the blizzard that had taken charge ended the day before we arrived. We camped for two days and caught brown trout for our meals and headed back east through South Dakota and then back to Florida. It was a memorable 2 weeks.
Terrific set - that first bird definitely is not a happy camper!

Lovely photos. I hope they are visiting a well-stocked bird feeder!
We had some here, too--great spring, isn’t it?
