Tuffcookie, sk8belle, Mi3stooges, lovesdumbo, Virgo10, LMarge and 206bones -- thanks so much! Glad you like them!
Mi2stooges - you wouldn't believe how much bird seed these guys go through! It's especially frustrating when the grackles come through - they come in by the hundreds and by the time they leave, every feeder is empty. I always expect to see Alfred Hitchcock walking through the front door. These photos were taken through my streaked and water-spotted glass doors here in central New Jersey.
206bones - most of these bird photos were taken using either the Canon Digital Rebel (300D) or the Canon 20D, and either the 70-300 f/4-5.6 IS USM or the 70-200mm f/4L USM.
Virgo10 - I will miss them, too, when we eventually move south, away from the cold and the snow. Sometimes I just pull up a chair in front of the door, camera in my lap, just watching the activity outside. Your Caroline Wren photo is funny, and I love your photo of mama Robin feeding her baby.
