Nuthatch with bokeh

12 Mar 2009 1 1 319
Not sure what created the bokeh in this image - maybe moisture on the trees and bushes? Or maybe specks of snow being blown off the branches? I thought it made quite a pretty background for this little White-breasted Nuthatch who lives in one of my local parks. This was taken yesterday, when it was about -25C, and I lasted only a few minutes in this place, hoping to get at least one or two photos before I had to head home to defrost.

She's so fine

Though I see lots of deer in the wild, sometimes close up, this particular Mule Deer was at the Calgary Zoo. Always love those big ears they have.
