What a Delight!

Yesterday morning I spent a couple of hours in the photoblind photographing birds that were coming to our little backyard pond. Due to the lack of rain in our area there has been a steady flow of visitors coming for drinks and baths. There were Steller's Jays, Dark Eyed Juncos, Hermit Thrushes and Chestnut Backed Chickadees but my favorite were a pair of Varied Thrushes. They came for drinks several times. With their beautiful coloring they were positively a delight to photograph. God's love and blessings to all, chris
