These birds are like clock work, every fall a small flock will arrive and spend the winter,mostly ground feeders , but I have seen them perched at times on the thistle feeder feeding on thistle.
They also enjoy peanut pieces.
Just the right amount of detectable snow; the rest, thrown gallantly into the bokeh. The bird is tack sharp and appears to be posed above the canvas, like a hologram. g
Another great shot. I have touble getting a good photo of these guys at my feeder I guess because they are always on the ground. This is a perfect pose and angle.
