After I got home from the dog park with Barley, I started to eat some wounded gingerbread men. Looking out the window, I was amazed to find the back yard full of birds. The cherry tree alone had juncos, chickadees, a flicker, a downy woodpecker, a house sparrow, and a scrub jay in it all at once. I tried to take pictures of it as quickly as I could, but the scrub jay flew away.
I used photoshop to sloppily paste images of the tree together, but the zoom on my camera, the varying angles at which the images were shot, and the upcoming final presentation for my Geographic Thought class all led to a rather large, blurry, and far-from-stellar image. I don’t recommend looking at it unless you’re on broadband.
That’s a cool set of photos. Actually, the event is cooler than the pictures, but A for effort.
K tells me that yesterday she saw a bunch of those juncos and in the flock was a tiny little hummingbird. She had to do a double-take, but there it was. I’d like to think it was adopted.
Cool… living Christmas ornaments! Always a good thing when you don’t have to put them up or take them down yourself.
