First new bird of spring... Couldn't resist seeing how the camera did - good thing this shot worked cuz birdie flew away before I could get another picture.

Cool bird what kind is it?........oh and wheres the snow? :mrgreen:

It's a pretty bird :)

lmao - ok... fine... make me dig out the field guide...

Common Redpoll (Carduelis flammea)

Snow? what snow? Do you know how warm it's been here? :D

A male Carduelis Flammea, to be specific. I have to say that I miss the Bombycilla garrulus (Bohemian Waxwing) that Edmonton has at this time of year.

Spring is here !
Nikon Coolpix 4500.
Unfortunately I left this camera in a taxi leaving Bangkok along with several hundred shots of our six week stay in Thailand :( :(

I also have not seen a waxwing for the longest time.

EDIT:
It realy doesn't.
I just wanted to say that.:sad:

But we do have them here in Alberta.

Anyone have a pair of tits nesting in their yard?

Lmao!! lol!! It actually really does look like a tit :)

No but the wife has some nesting in the front yard.....and boy are they ever tiny, and it seems the colder it is the perker they get :razz:
