Camera Critter #143

As we go into a new year, I would like to wish everyone a wonderful, prosperous year ahead.

In this part of the world, the new year is generally cold…and as I type this, it is 18 degrees.  But that doesn’t stop the birds from visiting the back yard.

Several years ago, I saw my first Varied Thrush in the Apple Tree out back.  He was a quick visitor and I didn’t see another one here until a week or so ago.  It appears this thrush is going to stick around, and hopefully give me better opportunities to capture his beauty.

I got this shot early New Year’s Eve morning.  It was taken through my kitchen window.  The window was dirty and the screen is still up.  But I believe you can still the beauty of the Varied Thrush.

It is a very beautiful bird! Window doesn't look dirty to me!

An excellent through-the-window-and-the-screen photo. Beautiful little bird, and I love the shadow on him. Perfect.
Happy 2011.

I gave up on the window. It was never clean enough. Good try though, it's a beautiful bird. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.

Nice shot. I never would have known it was through a dirty window and screen.

Even if the window is soiled, which I can't see, the photo is outstanding. I love the lighting especially.

My Camera Critters today is "Cat's Play". Hope you can find time to visit with me.

Happy New Year.
