Ah, Winter in upstate NY. It's what drove my Dad to transfer from Cornell to Cal, where he met my mom. They I foiled them both by moving to Norway ;) I can see I should get back to NY, though, for some east coast (or should I say west Atlantic?) birds.
 
Thank you for the comments. Always wanted to go on the guided birding walk at Cornell Doc. It's top priority for next spring.
 
A great caption for this beautifully detailed close-up, Aandeg !!! Thanks for sharing.
