The weather has been cold and wet the last several weeks. I have been catching up on post-processing of January photos. Above is a close-up portrait of a female Northern Cardinal in a light snow.

Juncos in the Cold
These Dark-Eyed Juncos were photographed on the same cold morning as the previous post. Again, the post processing was completed on Adobe Lightroom Mobile on the iPhone 7 Plus.
Thanks for stopping by today!

Another cold windy sub-zero morning in the Capital District. The sun was shining and the wind was blowing making it feel like a balmy -10 degrees Fahrenheit, but the birds did not care. This Tufted Titmouse was perched in the Butterfly Bush and making round trips from the bird feeder to the bush and back again for his breakfast. Because of the cold and wind he had his feathers puffed up which made for some nice details. Also, because the sun was shining low in the sky there was a warm cast to the light that I have slightly emphasized in the post-processing.
The images here were photographed handheld using the Canon 7D Mark II and the Canon EF 100-400MM F/4.5-5.6L IS USM lens. Post processing was completed with Adobe Lightroom mobile on my iPhone 7 Plus while staying warm by the fireplace.
Thanks for stopping by today and stay warm out there!

2018! The start of the new year in the Northeast is snow, wind, and bitter cold. With temperatures below zero, I captured this Blue Jay visiting for some breakfast. He was cooperative and perched long enough to take several pictures in the wind and blowing snow.

Dark-Eyed Juncos in Winter
We get plenty of Dark-Eyed Juncos visiting during the Winter months. For a rather plain looking bird at a distance, they have subtle coloring upon closer inspection and they always seem to be willing to strike a pose or two. Over the past several weeks, I captured a number of images of the Juncos in the snow, falling snow, and ice.
