After very gray but warmer weather yesterday the sun was back today and with it the cold air. We have still a good layer of snow on the ground and it made sense to use it for some bird photography in the woods around the house. You know already how much I love how the sunlight is bounced by the snow to the underside of the birds. Yes, the birds are here for food and water but they are careful and don’t fly directly to a feeder. Sometimes they also have to wait until a bigger competitor has left. The best chance to make the click is when they perch on branches at the edge of the woods. Since we have so many birds visiting, the photographer can be choosy and aim the lens to the species with the most brilliant colors only…😉
