I had hopes of finding a great Jan. 1 photo, but no light to speak of, cold temps, strong winds, so one sparrow visited feeder. I liked his pose.

Good look at the sparrow, John. I see gentle shadows, which add some nice depth to the bird and really let the feather details show well in the larger version. It looks like it sees you even through the window

For a one and only visitor John, you sure made the best of limited opportunities. This is really pleasing: nice light, good details and a totally captivating expression on the birds face.

Happy New Year!!! :toast:
