Hello my Dearest Friends,
It's been a while since I joined #featheredfriday hosted by Dear Friend and amazing photographer . However, this past weekend, we had a beautiful sunny day and I couldn't resist to go out in the cold and photograph the beauty of winter.
It was freezing cold and windy, I think -10C, which is insane for November. After being outside few minutes, I saw poor robins gathering on one of the crabapple trees, munching on it's tiny red apples. Unfortunately, they dispersed soon as I as came closer, so I just took few shots of the tree. Luckily, couple of the birds came back, giving me an opportunity to make my move, so I did, lol. I knew these photos are not the greatest, but at that point I had to give up trying because I was freezing cold and I had to go inside. Well, when I was at home warming up, I couldn't help thinking that maybe if I try again I could do better, so I dressed warmer and I headed out again, lol.
To my disappointment, the clouds began to gather and the wind was even stronger, but what else is new. Nevertheless, I walked up and down checking other crabapple trees and looking for the birds but they knew I was coming and fled, lol. I even felt bad, because these poor robins had enough to deal with this early snow and freezing cold and last thing they needed was a crazy photographer frighting them, lol.
Anyway, I spotted one higher up in the Birch tree, as you can see the poor bird sitting next to a bird nest covered in snow. I cropped the photo for you to see it better. I don't have a good enough lens for birds photography, so this is all I could get.
However, one think I don't understand is why they are still here. Robin is migratory bird, there for all these birds should be in Florida by now. Although, the good news is that warmer days are returning so they should be okay. Maybe they will fly to Florida soon as the snow melts.
