Very beautiful shots Marsha. Did you do some clever editing here? Perhaps softening the background? It works really well. I must learn how to do it. SADHYA · 2011-02-15: 11:05

Lovely creatures. I dig the third shot. smbunation · 2011-02-15: 11:17

We used to live in a house that had cedar siding, and these guys LOVE pecking large holes in it. Not my favorite bird, but great shots, Marsha. lgnelson · 2011-02-15: 12:19
