If you follow the weather news, you might have noticed reports indicating that the snow here in the Pacific Northwest has been piling up, as we say in Scappoose, “nose deep on the Buddha.” (Well, actually I’m the only one who says that but I’m trying to start a trend.) As a result, we have not been able to get around much since well before Christmas.
However one of the benefits of being more or less house-bound is the opportunity to spread the bird seed thickly around the domestic perimeter and train the long lens on whatever flies into range – such as this American Robin, Turdus migratorius, for example.
Over the next few posts, I’ll be sharing some of my favorite images of the local birdlife recorded during “The Great Christmas Snowstorm of 2008” (at least that’s what the over-caffeinated weather reporters will likely be calling it about this time next year).
Peace and good bird watching.
