A "song" for the holidays

Nuthatch posing on an open pine

Pipit bobbing on a stone

Say's Phoebe taking its time

And a Sandpiper looking so alone



Everybody knows that herons like to hunt for fish

And berries the bluebirds take

The trees have a kingbird and a finch



While buffleheads swim on the lake

Happy Holidays, everyone!


(Note: All of these pictures were taken in one morning's outing at Bonelli Regional Park using a Canon 5D Mk II with a 500mm lens plus a 1.4X extender.)

    I choose that blue bird feeding and the excellent exposure of duck in water.

    Happy New Year!
