Thanks Cotondog.
Gotta do something that is fun rather than grieve about the Ottawa Red Blacks.

We've had snow, lots of it, falling steady and blowing, for two days.
As it ended the wind also died down and the birds were out again -- an opportunity to take portraits with a clean background.
Here are a few.
About the last -- about 20 minutes after daylight it was shot at ISO 6,400, about 50 feet away.

They stand out attractively against the snow.

I can't think of a better snow portrait subject than a bird. So beautiful, Pierre!

What's good too is that it reflects back light and fills in shadows, and, tends to give the bird very nice catch lights.

What's that goldfinch doing out in the cold? I thought they'd all moved on to warmer climates! Very beautiful shots, Pierre!

Thank you Ellen. May I call you that?
I imagine you got the same storm we did up here near Ottawa.
