Another terribly cold miserable day - definitely not good for looking for photographs! I was eating a juicy pear and leaning over the sink when I saw something out the window. I couldn't believe my eyes!! Luckily the camera, with the 300 lens already on, was sitting on the table behind me. I managed 3 shots through the window before it flew away. Now this is a Golden Whistler which is hard to find. I have only ever seen 2 before when I lived on the farm, and have never seen any in town. It has a beautiful whistle as well. Also, other than a crop, this is sooc! So on this dreary awful day, I am now so excited and pleased to have captured this in my own yard through the window :)
