Yesterday I goofed off and went to the Toledo Museum of Art to see Winslow Homer. Today, I had to get some much needed yard work done. The sun was shining and there was very little wind. I couldnt ask for a better day to rake leaves. So I put on my iPod and headed out the door early. I listened to Edward Abbey that I converted from cassette to digital for a friend. Around mid-afternoon I noticed a lot of birds around the feeder. Since I was due for a break I went inside, downed a glass of water, grabbed the camera and headed for the trees around my feeder. It doesn’t take long for the birds to come back to the feeders with me sitting quietly among the trees. I sat there for about 20 minutes before my sweat started to chill. In those twenty minutes I snapped some nice photos of a pair of Downy Woodpeckers, Red-breasted Nuthatches, Titmouse, and a bunch of Juncos.
