I ordered a newer one, we'll see if it's any better.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04728348462171249198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8556876169792056824.post-80825026897636946792008-12-11T12:48:00.000-08:002008-12-11T12:48:00.000-08:00Congrats on your 100th post; it was a beauty, too!...Congrats on your 100th post; it was a beauty, too!<BR/><BR/>About your frozen drip...I hung a finch sock just outside my kitchen window. It's one of those double-sock things with the dome roof that stores extra seed. From the roof, the melting snow has caused some ice-sickles that the birds land on and hang from; waiting for a turn on the bird-covered socks!<BR/><BR/>It's kinda wild to watch; they also drink the water from the dome's little recessed door on top.<BR/><BR/>I especially liked the frozen grass photo; great angle! I didn't know it 'hurts' the grass to walk on it when it's frozen...the local golf course has a fit when birders take off across the green on a frosty morning!<BR/>(you might remember my owl pics earlier this year...they nested near the first hole)Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09334121900896195207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8556876169792056824.post-27006893303181292742008-12-09T16:29:00.000-08:002008-12-09T16:29:00.000-08:00You have posted so many interesting things to com...You have posted so many interesting things to comment on. Firstly, I love the first sky shot, such amazing, beautiful colour.<BR/><BR/>How I would l love to have a winter when freezing is a rarity! However, like you, we are also presently experiencing a wide temperature range from today to tomorrow... -18 degrees C when I woke this morning with +11 forecast for tomorrow afternoon. We presently have snow but perhaps all the rain tomorrow will take it away again (I hope!). I would love to see one red-shafter Flicker, let alone all the ones you had in your tree at once.... what a teriffic sighting. <BR/><BR/>Yours was such an interesting post, also a Christmas tree already decorated with cones... love it!

You have to be a talented photographer to make frozen grass look as lovely as yours!<BR/><BR/>I have been a lurker here for about a week or so but wanted to comment on your pictures. My mouth gaped at the chestnut-backed chicadee. I never even knew there was such a bird.<BR/><BR/>You get birds in the northwest that we don't get in the northeast so it's interesting to see the differences.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05539583838978744802noreply@blogger.com
