Well Happy New Year! I think I’m finally getting rid of my Pneumonia that Santa gave me this Christmas. To celebrate, I spent some time in the backyard this afternoon to see what the birds were up to. Saw most of the usual birds and managed to capture some. Saw one Dark-eyed Junco, but he was too fast for me today.
