The Snowy owl is still hanging around here.... The first 2 shots are with an SX-50 using a bit of the digital zoom. The third picture is as good as I could get with a 60D and a Sigma 120-400. For a toy p/s camera, it is amazing what you can get away with on the SX-50...

Rienzphotoz, I was thinking the same. Giving it more thought, I'd think that you could more or less judge by looking at road kill. I came upon a Golden Eagle that was helping devour a deer hit on the road, but in general by far the most likely is scavengers like magpies and crows. That's my best guess. I will be trying a variety of foods aimed at possibly getting a greater variety of models and would be interested if someone knows the special dishes that work.

Very nice picture candc. Well done.

Thanks
I love watching and taking pictures of all the birds but the eagles seem special to me. If anyone is in the area (Wisconsin) it's a good photo op time for eagles

That's what I'm talking about! Nice capture!

Previously - "just a robin". Now I'll say - "just a chickadee", but that has to be taken in context. I was so thrilled to be getting a rather special shot after days of no sunshine, cold temperatures and snow. This day it was +5C and sunny and for January 16 in Alberta, that is warm!

Thanks Krob78, for me personally it's the last one I posted. The little guy landed and then beckoned his friends with a cheerful dee dee dee. In this pose he's such a bundle of fuzz. Chickadees are one of my very favorite birds - usually very friendly and well behaved, bothering no one!
