      Yes, except for the duck all of the birds, and more, are in the garden. We have several feeders stocked all year round. And, yes I go out in the woods with a camera whenever I can.

                  As well as the daily visits from the Goldfinches we had our first Greenfinch in 5 years.
                  A female which came only for a minute, hopefully it will return.

                      I was watching Nigel Marven in Honduras, Costa Rica, Guatemala and Panama this morning and there were some real beauties he encountered.
