red poll I

Posted by amy (Nanaimo, BC, Canada) on 12 February 2008 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

The red polls were out here on Saturday feasting on the seeds with the juncos and chickadees. The bright red of their plumage looked so amazing. I had to take the shots through the window so the shots aren't as sharp as I'd wanted (and there was no way I was going out in that -31C weather). So some do have some tweaking and some don't. I've gotten a bit bored with my Banff/winter shots so am now going to do this little series of these red polls. They are similar but each will be a little different.


Another factoid: Canada is ranked number 1 among the coldest countries of the world. Hmmm, at least we're number 1 for something (besides hockey)! LOL

You can view my gallery of images and calendar for sale at: cute but stupid . I'm slowly adding more to the site and if there is something in my portfolio you would like to purchase but is not available on my site just contact me and I'll make it available.

I appreciate all visits and comments and thank you always... ;-)
