Fabulous shots, Margaret. I can almost see the feathers on the cygnet blowing in the breeze. The Pied Oystercatcher is a striking bird.

I've been sort of isolated to my backyard for the last two weeks so I keep getting the same visitors, which is o.k. They can still provide you with some nice images. This is another photo of one of my male Northern Cardinals ....... with some artificial snow added to the image. With 12-18 inches of snow still on the ground, I shouldn't have to manufacture any.
