Take some pics please I like watching the birds. We've got a great horned owl close by that seems to have made a nest because I hear him every single night.

Whoo! Whoo-whoo-whoo! Whoo! Whoo! hoot-hoot-hoot-hoot.

It was FREEZING out there with the wind. There was the usual 'winter mix' of birds: Blue Jays, Cardinals, White-Breasted Nuthatches, Tufted Titmice, and Black Capped Chickadees. The cardinals are only a few weeks away from pairing off. Jays should be getting into large courtship groups soon as well.

My camera died shortly after I got there, but I got a couple shots. Nothing earth-shattering.

Here's some pictures from last summer though, and a few from today:

House Wren building a nest in a hollowed out part of a tree:

A pair of Red Tailed Hawks from October 2008. There's actually a family of them.

Black Capped Chickadee today:
