Some more winter type pics ...

Silly birds -- didn't want to stay still to get their pic taken (the chickadees were really bad about it -- zipping in and out). As is typical for a Michigan winter, been really really grey/overcast -- apologies in advance for the darkness of several of the photos. So haveing uttered that disclaimer ....

Thought this "portal" (caused by the exhaust fan from the oven) in the overhanging snow was rather nifty.

Now some birdies:

nice shots. i love the woodpeckers especially, pileated and red bellied. We've got acorn woodpeckers in our area, they live in groups and have some unusual behaviors so they are really fun to watch.

Great winter shots, thank you! Like a nature paradise in your yard, so jealous as we have no snow yet and don't get but a tiny bit comparitively when we do.

If those icicles come loose, don't be the one standing under them, yikes! You'd look like Jack Frost's pincushion.
