Our area is in the middle of a snow storm. We had 8" overnight and 4" more is predicted. Not many critters are moving but I did see two Black Squirrels playing in a tree but only for a short time. Here are the Pine Trees in the rear of next door decorated in snow.
I am showing some shots of a Cardinal in the Ohio Buckeye Tree from this summer.
This male was in full color and put on a neat show.
This is one of the most colorful birds.
This was an American Goldfinch from the neighborhood. He was in complete shade so was hard to capture really well.
He was a beautifull bird so I'm showing him the best I can.
There some neat photos of critters from around the world if you want to go out and visit.
I love those red cardinals! I wish we had them here! And the goldfinch is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love the cardinals. It's wonderful to spot them in the branches or against the white snow.
ReplyDeleteI had so many finches this summer. They are pretty too as you say.
Stay warm in your winter wonderland.
reALLY lovely all of it . the brilliant and the sublime sandy
ReplyDeleteYour photos of these birds are beautiful! I love the way you zoomed in and caught so many details. Thanks for sharing!

I miss the Cardinals! We don't have them here in the PNW. Come by and tell me what kind of duck I photographed, I haven't a clue!

A very bright and welcome reminder of what wonderful colour birds are available to you. Lovely. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYour cardinal is such a lovely shade of red! Can't believe your goldfinch has retained those colors this late in the season!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots!
ReplyDeleteIts a shame I never see beautiful birds as those in here... :( So thank you that you are showing it via cc! Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteWow, what great color you captured when you took those photos of that cardinal and finch!! Absolutely Beautiful, Fg!!
ReplyDeleteAnd you did a FANTASTIC job of showing these feather fellas!!

I'm glad you kept the snow up there in Ohio. You did a great job with the birds.

Just love the colors of birds! Good gets...
ReplyDeletebeautiful birds!
ReplyDeleteI love the trees decorated with snow
wouldn't it be nice if snow fell, let you take it's photo and then melted ;)
That's a lot of the white stuff-snow.
ReplyDeleteThe Cardinals are exquisite.

I would love to see a cardinal. The red is so vibrant. Your goldfinches are so different to ours.
ReplyDeleteWow! you are really getting dumped on!
ReplyDeleteYou are spot on about the dificulty of shooting in the deep shade. Even when we get the shot frequently there is a lot of digital noise, very pretty pictures of the cardinals and goldfinches never the less.
Gorgeous!!!! I adore our backyard birds but I haven't the patience to photograph them, usually.
ReplyDeleteGreat captures. Thanks, FG!
Some day I will see a Cardinal in real life, but your pictures are grand!
ReplyDeleteOh they're so pretty! I Love Cardinals - the birds & the baseball team!!! hehehe
ReplyDeleteHi Tom, The bulk of the storm has missed us, so I can't get any snow scenes, but your photo reminds me what it is like. The cardinal photos are outstanding.
ReplyDeleteI love pictures of birds. These are so good!
ReplyDeleteThose birds are so pretty we have lots of red cardinals and blue jays here in NC.I just can't ever seem to capture one with my camera.
ReplyDeleteLove to see cardinals in the winter, their red really stands out then!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cardinal, Tom.
ReplyDeletebeautiful captures on both!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo's.
ReplyDeleteOur winter weather advisory was cancelled. I guess the storm with more north of us then expected. We did have ice this morning, luckily we didn't have anywhere we had to be!!
Take care and enjoy the rest of your weekend.
I really enjoy your blog! Your pictures are incredible.
Thanks for sharing them with us!!
Darn but it looks cold there!! Here I am going to have midnight swims it is so hot. Love the cardinal shots Tom.
ReplyDeleteyour black squirrels were probably fighting over food...lol... hope things warm up for you soon..
ReplyDeleteThose cardinals are beautiful. Love the colour of the goldfinch as well.
ReplyDeleteNice shots !
Lovely! The cardinal shots are so beautiful and seeing a summer goldfinch brings a smile in the gloom of winter.
