Shots from Florida and the like should be banned! ;) Here I sit snow-bound at -10 C and in spite of wandering outside today not a single bird of any description - well actually I did see a magpie far away. :(

I wandered through the local woods for 4 hours today, did not even hear a bird, nothing came to the feeders, too cold and windy.....

When I go down to Florida on vacation it's like a smorgasbord of birds and wildlife compared to up here in the cold north!

All of your birds are fleeing that weather for the Florida beaches. We've had a snowy owl in Jacksonville and now a red-throated loon in Panama City. Out of respect, I'll limit my post to more endemic species - here's a slightly less wary (these guys are second only to Kingfishers it seems) Black-crowned Night Heron who posed for me on Sunday morning:

"Wary" - not by Serindipidy - wish he'd send his birds up here! ;)

I'll be hoping for a shot like that this summer!
