My daughter has feeders out, and I took a few pics this morning, through the dining room door.

Quality goes up a bit, when it isn't snowing.

Thanks for sharing Kurt. It may not be of Bill's caliber but always fun to see what other folks have going on at their feeders. A few of your Cardinal pics are pretty cool. Now just go out and spend thousands of dollars on glass and you'll be on your way to fame...
Pretty much looks like my mix of birds. I do have a Rufous-sided Towhee hanging around pretty regularly. I would have sworn those things migrated but I have one almost daily...

I could have cameras better than Bills, and never reach his level. I've never taken the time to learn all of the settings on my camera (or my phone), so I'm still impressed when I get some pics where the proper thing is in focus. 
I take 50 pics, and maybe get 12 worth keeping. 
I enjoy it though, and I plan to take more pics once the more colorful ones return.

I haven't seen any yet. I'm watching for those, and Juncos, to add a bit of color out there. I saw a pair of red birds, that I couldn't identify, but they didn't stay long enough for me to get a pic. They were almost as red as the male Cardinals, about the size of a Cowbird but thinner/sleeker.

Help me out here; I think these two are Indigo Buntings, but then I think *Grosbeak?*.
This one, I have no idea what it is;

I'm not sure when my daughter put the feeder out, but I saw three Hummingbirds today.

This one is not a bird, but she was eating bird seed so I'm counting it.

She's full of milk, so she must have a fawn nearby.
