We had sun and blue skies today. According to the weather forecast it's the calm before the storm. While in the backyard checking on the dogs, Peg noticed a bunch of birds in the bushes. I brought out my camera and snapped a few shots. The lighting was great but it was tricky getting the camera to focus on the birds rather than the branches in front of them. I got as close as I could and my feathered friends were quite stationary. I managed to capture this little guy through the branches. Hopefully, filling the bird feeder will bring them closer so I can snap some shots minus the branches.

Fantastic shot! I can never get as close as I want to with small birds!
It might be a goldfinch - hope it enjoyed today's snow.
I always wonder how the really round birds fly..
You know Susan, you just might be right. I'm not that knowledgeable about ornithology.
Good shot! It's always hard to get good bird shots.
It does look like a canary but I'm betting goldfinch too....
Great shot!
