Those are great shots! Are you outside when you take your pictures? It's so darn cold here I'd freeze trying to get decent shots.

During the winter most of the almost all of the feeder shots are thru the window as these are. If they are not feeder shots then, yep I am outside. Usually taken while I am walking the dog..like these geese on the pond just down the road.
