I need to don an extra
jumper after looking at
some of your recent,
shots, Ingrid. I hope that
that Jay's keeping snug.
A fine shot of this winter
wonderland.

Thank you very much everyone! Yes, winter came early to these parts, but it's been in the pluses the last few days. Everything is in melting mode now! :)

I've only seen birds in Britain, and regret never having visited the US. Blue Jays would be at the top of the list of birds I'd love to see (also Hermit Thrush and Yellow-rumped Warbler). This is a very pleasing capture Ingrid, the bird posing with an obliging head turn, and the picture exposed so as to retain graded tones in the snow. Good work!
