No Warblers Here!

As you might have guessed from my recent photos, it's winter here. This leads to a lack of summer birds. I love to photograph birds and so I am posting pics of some common winter birds around our house.
Blue Jays are also seen a lot but they never stay still long enough for me to get a good picture.

Crow in the snow.

Starling.

Sorry it's a bit blurry. It's a house sparrow!

Still a house sparrow!

Junco hanging from dead Goldenrod.

Junco!

Still a Junco!

You probably know what this is now!

The Rain and the Blizzard.

It rained. We watched the snow melt away. It was so sad. You can tell by my lack of description that I was very, VERY sad.
But then some snow god took pity on us and yesterday the wind was hollowing and the snow was blowing everywhere and it lasted well into the night.
So this morning when I got up I saw this welcoming sight...

Look at all the snow!!!!!!!!

Now we must pray that it doesn't rain again.

Birds.

I meant to post this ages ago...

I have been taking a lot of bird pictures lately. One of my fav birds is a crow I named White Wing. He is partially albino, and is often seen with another, rather-larger-then normal crow.
My Uncle Brian is visiting, along with my two cousins, and he is a bird fanatic as well. He ran a marathon two days ago.

And now for Birds. (And pics of Uncle Brian doing the Marathon).

I actually took way more, but I'm only posting a few.



White Wing.

Ravens!!!!!!!

Loon!

Juvenile Cedar Wax Wing. 

Junco.

Uncle Brian!

Finishing the Marathon!

It Snowed!!!

How long have I been missing?! 4 MONTHS!!!!!???? Oh dear, I am really terrible at keeping track of time... Well.... I've been busy... I promise that I will write the next part of Element in the near future and that I will keep up with my life on this blog. And if I don't keep my promise then feel free complain in the comments.

Anyway, the purpose of this post...

It snowed!!!  The first big snowfall of the year!!! So obviously Isaac and Alex went outside to build a snow man...

Lifting the head...

Placing the head...

Halloween- man!
