Digital Photography | Winter Birds

In the winter, we throw seed out on an area of our driveway to feed the wild birds. With the cold and snowy weather Nashville recieved in January of 2010, the birds were especially hungry.

With so many avians in attendance, I decided to bundle up, steal my dad's camera, and crawl out to get some interesting shots.  (Click on any thumbnail in the gallery to see an enlargement.)

Most of these are small birds, photographed from about 15-20 feet away, using a 70-300mm image-stabilized zoom lens.
