You are so blessed to be surrounded by such beauty and to be able to sneak up on it. ha ha

Those guys are camouflage masters! I went out yesterday, trying to see some that I have seen last winter but didn't see any... This is a very nice capture with good details and great natural environment. They are impressive to see aren't they? Well done! Happy New Year!

Bonjour Doug,
Superbe photo avec beaucoup de détalles. J'aime particulièrement la composition avec le vieil arbre et l'oiseau perché sur une branche dénudé.
Bonne année et beaucoup de photo pour 2008,
