There was a reason the regulars at our bird feeders were away this morning. Outnumbered and outsized, the chick-a -dees, nuthatches and finches had to wait for breakfast until the flock of wild turkeys finished their meal.

With a winter like we’ve had this year, who in the world would want to move to New Hampshire?
So, is it true that robins fly south for the winter? Are you sure?

Note: This is the third posting in an ongoing series of photographs I will be publishing throughout 2009. All of the “Backyard Wonders” photographs in this series will be taken in my own back yard. My challenge is to see how many different kinds of landscape and wildlife photos I can come up with by the end of the year. Enjoy!

As a photographer, just how far do you travel to take scenic pictures? In 2009, I will be challenging myself to find scenic pictures in my own backyard. The photographs will be published in this blog under the category “Backyard Wonders.” You’ll also be able to view the pictures on my Flickr page.
