I know it's not very Christmasy, but I thought I'd post this, as many of my Flickr friends and local friends seem to enjoy our feathered neighbours and take spectacular photos of them. I do have a more Christmasy "card" that I will post a little closer to Christmas Day : ) I am so thankful that I have learned a fair amount about the birds in my area and have grown to respect and care about them more than when I was unaware and ignorant of what amazing wildlife surrounded me. Thank you ALL for sharing your superb images and for teaching me so much about your little corners of the world. Your beautiful photos inspire me so much, and hopefully I am learning and will continue to learn from you. Happy Christmas, everyone! Stay safe!

Thanks, fd, as always for this and all your other fun things!
