European Goldfinch
Based on the local listings, the goldfinches were back at Ringve botanical garden for less than a week in January. I was lucky enough to stumble upon them on a relatively brighter day.- maj.sujan

Great
The Great Tits often make a quick stop on the guy wire that is used to raise, stabilize, and lower (for filling) the main feeder. They don't stop long, though. Just long enough for an overview before either flying to the feeder or flying away.- Doc Duck

Blue
Computer is about to do an automatic restart. I'll just post these real quick, then make dinner, then do my browsing this evening. Last three from 12 Oct at Ringve Botanical Garden. This one, obviously, is a Blue Tit, posing nicely on a branch overlooking the feeder array and viewing platform.- Doc Duck

A different view
He was also getting much bolder after spending much of the summer at the popular duck-feeding area. Staying well away from humans earlier, he was now swimming quite close to where I stood at the edge of the pond. That gave me a different view of his plumage.- Doc Duck

Outta my way!
I got dozens of good shots of this guy that day, but I'll try not to bore you by posting them all. Just a final three today, and making sure they're all quite different poses. Here he's chasing off a Mallard who was crowding him near the seeds I'd been tossing out onto the water. When this guy...- Doc Duck

Remembering Fall colours 2
Back in October, our visiting Mandarin Duck was back in full plumage. His mate had already migrated southwards, and soon he would follow. I wonder where he went for the Winter. Some thought they saw him on the far side of the river by the lower falls, where the outflow from the power plant...- Doc Duck
