red poll I

Posted by amy (Nanaimo, BC, Canada) on 12 February 2008 in Plants & 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

Just tell me what you think. I'm a big girl.... I won't cry for long. ;-)
