Looks like not only cats just sit where they want.

Great pictures. I like this one best, beautiful light on its head, catchlight in its eye and the tree’s bark as habitat and background. I would crop out the tiny strip of light on the right.

Very nice series. I really like the first one. Well done, Nemorino.

Beautiful series, Noreaster. A real couple on the second one, the female is easily identifiable.

On both ## 2 and 3 the female is easily recognizable: #2 as you say "real couple" ("old family"). the #3 should be an old family photo from the honey month !

Hi guys, a few portraits (and one tiny BIF) from the last weekend.
We have a Cedar Waxwing, Say's Phoebe, Bewick's Wren and a Red-winged Blackbird.

My favorite is the Bewick's Wren! All the branches are screaming "the Spring is here!!!". The Red-winged Blackbird is screaming the same by itself but still has no support from the background (not big deal: the bird knows better!).

Today when I was totally disappointed this male Northern Cardinal landed in front of me! I wish it didn't land on that yellow chain (plastic?) but it landed there...

Annoying when they do stuff like that!
Still a nice photo!

Thanks!
"Annoying when they do stuff like that!" - they are not trained models and exactly that is doing the game even more interesting!
