Thanks Tom! I hope so too, I've only seen super common stuff lately, so something a bit different will be nice!

Good luck with the feeders this weekend. Hope you get pictures of some uncommon birds!

Thanks Tom! I loved the way they held on to the rock and drank from the stream, couldn't help but to take pictures :) We get a big cold front this weekend, so I'm going to get out and hope for some good birds at the feeders!

Nice series Ashley! The woodpecker found a drinking fountain.
