Hi Jill,
Oh I like seeing what other people are seeing, so yes indeed. Always
nice to have some sharing of one's hobbies at the office. Makes for a
much more pleasant place to work🙂
I used to go out purposely to look for birds with binocs and such.
Nowadays I just see what's about while doing my daily walks. On a
rather nasty day a week or so ago I could have used the binocs.
Rather think it was a group of Redpolls but just guessing. They weren't
any of the usual birds I come across and not close enough for any good
detail... I'd read that the Redpolls were about this year in our area
but have not seen any. My little feeder doesn't work for them, not their
style of eatery. It's right by the window, so easy to take pics if I
feel ambitious. Put a couple here with a Downy and a Titmouse. Old
style plate glass window, so not the best to shoot through for pics...
