This is my first photo of this species for years, so please forgive the distance involved! There were at least 4 individuals present and I was happy with just hearing them booming, until this happened

I managed to have free time at the exact break in the weather yestday. Mostly obtained duplicates, but saw my first blackcap of the season (photo not great though, so holding out for better)

The weather was unseasonably mild for most of the week we were in Denver, apart from the day when I had pre-arranged a birding trip, when it was very cold, cloudy and snowy :(

We saw lots including quite a few new birds, but the photos are sub-par given the meteorological conditions. I'll start with the lifers....

Really lovely shots of the Towhee.

Pity about the weather on "birding day".

Yes I was cursing it all day. Not that often that you get to photograph birds in the snow though….:wacko:
